Rain - February 25, 2026

While I'm not getting the snow some of you are (my son back east and has an "historic amount of snow"), it's been very rainy.  

The far back of the yard has it's usual puddles.  No, puddles is not the correct word.  Flooded areas.  They're nothing that doesn't happen with every heavy rain.

I put these down for stepping stones.  

Yesterday Mickey considered going outside...

changed his mind...

and took up a dryer location to watch the rain.

This morning I attempted to catch a falling water droplet.  My back started aching from bending over so long I had to quit.  

That's a flowering plum I got years ago from a former co-worker.  He son had planted a pit in a container.  I had it growing in a big ceramic one on the deck until last April when I planted it into the herb garden.  I thought it was pot bound, but it wasn't.  Still, it's been happy.  It's growth was stunted, so it's now a miniature flowering plum!
