Rain On

The rain is really coming down this afternoon. I really love it when it pours. There's no way I need to worry about the gardening at least. It's out of my hands. No guilt. The ground has been so dry lately it needs a good soak. The weeds will love it. As long as it's sunny again tomorrow then all's well with me.
The chicken quilt is coming on. I only get to squeeze in half an hour a day but it's amazing what gets done. I find that if I keep my sewing area tidy (ha ha) it helps so much and if the next stage is put out and ready to do I can be productive in any available moment.
This is a self-seeded plant in my garden - I think it's a Verbascum. It was about four feet high until the rain began. It's now four feet horizontal.

  3. I like the way your chicken is flying.

    Shame about you plant," four feet horizontal". I have some in that position too!

  4. I have some of those flowers too...the type not the position. I think you are right about the name.

    We've had a bit of a drizzle, but not enough to really water anything. Disappoints the lazy part of me. It means I'm going to have to water everything soon.

    Your chickens really are fun.
