Our forecast had changed to rain starting last night, continuing though today and tonight, no rain during the day tomorrow, but rain again at night.
Well, all of that seemed to just hit us at once, last night!
It started off gentle enough, to I left our remaining transplants out, but let my daughter know they were out there. When she heard the downpour, she ran out to bring them in.
She also found kittens in the sun room again.
All of them.
They were still there, this morning. The mama may have wanted them in the cat house, but they definitely prefer the cat cage in the sun room!
It was looking like I wouldn’t be up to working on that next bed today, last night. I had to get someone else to put the bath chair in the tub so I could take a shower. Then, as I got up from my office chair and walked across the room, I got hit with a Charlie Horse. I ended up needing one of my daughters to assist me for the next while, until I could finally crawl into bed.
In the end, it’s a moot point. There is no way we’re going to be doing much of anything in the yard or garden today.
The paths around the garden beds are all full of water, including around the beds that still need to be shifted. The melons I planted last night seem to have handled the battering just fine, as did everything else, which I am most thankful for. In fact, of the stuff that got planted earlier, just about everything is growing really well. The only exception is the struggling spinach, really, and that is a different issue completely. Spinach has been really hit or miss for us. Either it does really great, or not at all.
So we shift our goals for today.
With Father’s Day and my younger daughter’s birthday being in the same month, my older daughter is planning to treat us to a pizza night, later this week. We were also going to do an extra trip ahead of that, as she has other things she wants to get (like heat and eats for those hot days when no one is up to cooking), and I’m planning to get a cake of some kind. Probably a cheese cake, as that’s the birthday girls’ favourite. 😊
So we will be doing that trip, today. We’ll be heading to the nearer city, so I’ll be taking advantage of that to combine errands.
We are supposed to get a bit more rain this evening, then on rain for three days, then rain all day on Saturday. Hopefully, those three days will be enough for us to get more done in the garden, and get those tomatoes and Zucca melon transplanted!
Since moving our here, we’ve had drought, heat waves, flooding, and now spring so wet, we’ve now got more water in the yard than we did the spring we flooded! At least roads are being washed out.
As far as I know, anyhow!
Well, it is what it is. We’ll just have to deal with things as they come. What else can we do?

Arggh! We’re having freezing overnights here. Remind me again why we’re both not living somewhere tropical yet? 😂

No kidding!
I heard from a friend back in the city we moved away from. They’re getting frost tonight.

Sorry about the confounding weather! That’s almost always a farmer’s nightmare OR Godsend, I imagine. Also, I read an online tip for charleyhorses and have found it works for me every time (and for athletes, and 30-something son-in-law who runs also swears by it): dill pickle juice. Daughter suggested I up magnesium intake, but honestly, the pickle juice stops the muscle clench within minutes. (There’s some science as to how it works, which made sense.) Anyway, here’s hoping you get a break from the rains, TOO! And omigosh, those kittens!🥰

I remember something about pickle juice!
I am taking magnesium and it does work – as long as I don’t run out!
And I’m about to post more cuteness overload. We have more kittens!
