Rain

It's raining gently and I've been out weeding my vegetable garden. I'm a recent and not exactly wholehearted convert to gardening - but I want to eat home grown vegetables and after failing to convince my husband to take responsibility for the veges have had to take it on myself. Fortunately, it turns out to be rather pleasant. And it definitely puts a different slant on the whole rain thing, so that instead of bemoaning the weather I can appreciate what wonderful things it's doing for my seedlings. So far I've got broccoli, capsicums, lettuces, beetroot and rhubarb. I'm envisioning wonderful salads all summer long.

The other benefit, hopefully, is that time spent gardening and communing with nature must surely be good for my creativity and so my vege plot could theoretically help my story plot.
