We are in some kind of an atmospheric black hole here, with not a drop for 17 days, and only four tenths the week before that. It rained yesterday all around us in Mass. and NY but we did not get any. A weird break in all the storms left us still horribly dry while our neighbors got relief. <br /><br />How lovely it is to look at your full rain garden -- and sample yummy cookies at the same time!Laurriehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13657951570419825095noreply@blogger.com
