We never did get any rain yesterday. It sure looked like it was going to though- really dark clouds, and the wind picked up, and then nothing. The kids actually got much better as the day progressed, thankfully :)

This morning we went to my parents to go swimming. I took over some of my tomatoes. Had a very enjoyable couple of hours swimming, then it was back to their apartment for lunch. They had stopped at a farmer's market in the morning and bought corn and cucumbers. Lunch was corn on the cob, and tomato and cucumber sandwiches. YUMMY!!

We got back home about 30 minutes ahead of a severe thunderstorm. Boy did it move slow, we had horrible rain and wind and lightening for an hour! Went out after it was gone to survey the garden- no damage. Managed to gather about 15 seeds from my Four O'Clocks before the next storm got here. Still is here, raining like crazy. We're under a flood watch until tomorrow morning, with a severe thunderstorm watch until 8pm. We're getting the storms and rain we didn't get yesterday and then some! The storms are just lined up- gonna be a long night. Don't think we'll be going to play with the neighbor this evening.

Well, my coffee's done brewing and I have to go start dinner (first I have to figure out what we're going to have LOL!) Then I think I'll make chocolate chip cookies with the kids.

Have fun gardening :)
