Bucketing down!

I do not know what has happened to our weather, but today it has rained and rained, and it is still pouring. This is not a spring shower, but a deluge that feels like we're back in the throes of winter. 7 degrees C! One of the gutters at the back of the house has been damaged, and is leaking, so I placed some plastic pails to stop the downpour from inundating in one area. As I realized the pails were getting filled in just a short time, I hauled the large plastic garbage bin to the spot. Within a couple of hours, it was overflowing! I think the seeds I planted yesterday will have either been drilled down 2 feet, or have gone off floating down the road and perhaps found their way into the sea!

On the shiny side, isn't it amazing how life-giving water just falls from the sky :)
