rain!

So very rainy. Enough of a break this morning to ride to the store, but after that, solid and steady all through the day and into the evening.

And yet, there is definitely new growth out in the garden — yes, in January — including an anemone bloom. Maybe if there’s a break in the weather I’ll photograph it. I ordered seeds today, too, looking forward out to a time when there will be tomatoes and corn, etc., etc. (A lot of etc., honestly. If everything grows we’ll be swimming in summer produce.)

Which makes today a lovely rainy day on which to do my taxes, of course. They are done, too, and about ready to go out in the mail tomorrow. (I’d’ve filed online, but you can’t file Form 8863 with e-filing, more’s the pity.)

And the rain continues: flood watch today, and rain expected for a good chunk of the rest of the week. Oh, Olympia.
