Be Careful What You Wish For

I wanted rain, and rain is what I have. 

The morning was dry, and I spent it cutting down flowered out perennials - it looks like September in the garden.  The amount of growth is phenomenal, the compost heaps are overflowing.  As for weeds, the only good thing I can say is they are so tall that I don't have to bend to pull them out.

Now water is pouring from the sky, just as if someone had turned a giant hose on.  Luckily we got nearly home before it started. 

This is Kelso, around 4 pm, and it isn't mono ....
