Summer rain

Lots of rain lately. In a good way though.
Haven't had to water in weeks. We get lovely night time rain, daytime sun, skip a day, and then a little more rain. It's been nice rain-- the kind you want to sit on the porch and breathe in.

The garden pic is the plot in the middle of the yard. The other 3 plots are doing really well too. That particular one contains all of our potato plants, brussel sprouts, broccoli, beets, carrots, swiss chard, kohlrabi, basil, cilantro, salad greens, butter leaf lettuce, eggplant, caraway and sweet potatoes.

The bottom pic is the kids at the botanical gardens this past cloudy Sunday. Oddly enough, we don't often go to the gardens in the summer. Usually make a trip in the winter, around February when we're all desperate for green and can hang out in the tropics room.

All right, off to bed. Attended a lovely water birth this morning, but have been called at around 3am for the last 3 days. It's like some bizarre swing shift of sorts. Have to go back tomorrow at 9am for a postpartum visit. Off to sleep!
