RAIN!!!  yes, I am shouting.  It rained last night!  Our area got about =
an inch from about 9PM to about Midnight.  My grass (which has no =
watering system) is green again this morning.  My plants look happy, and =
now I can skip watering today (my scheduled day).  It is supposed to =
clear up again this morning and get sunny. =20

I need to get out there and plant my new rose that I got last weekend.  =
Picked my first tomato, pale orange, before the birds get to it.  By =
this afternoon all the puddles will be gone and they will be looking for =
moisture again.  Looking forward to that first taste. =20

Had a fun couple days that have nothing to do with gardening.  My car =
wouldn't start Tuesday afternoon.  Got a friend to come over and jump =
start it (interior lights were left on).  Made a short trip to store and =
left the engine running while I went inside. (locked it up tight)  Came =
home and parked it on the driveway.  Then Wed morning it wouldn't start =
again!  Called the dealer as it is still under warantee.  They couldn't =
get me until afternoon, but I had finals.  Got another jump, drove to =
school and parked nose out in the parking structure.  Took two finals =
then called security to come jump it again.  Drove straight to the =
dealer where they did a complete check of the electrical system and =
replaced the battery.  Amazingly, I still got home before my kids did!  =
Great place that dealer, they were swamped but took the time for me as =
it was a simple problem.  I would have had to rent a car had they not =
been so nice. =20
Gotta go, finals today too.
