Raindrops the size of golf balls

Ok…  I may be exaggerating a little bit.  But it was driving rain on and off all day.  Mostly on.  I was so determined to push on with my greenhouse build that I even dressed like an ocean going fisherman in big thick wet weather gear, but it was too cumbersome and combined with the wet and the mud it was impossible.

So I tried working between the drops – watching from the dry side of a window, I would race out in the brief breaks between the rain and lay a paver.  I laid four before I gave up on that plan.  Then I decided to do an inside project.  I started work on a job that once you start you can’t stop until you are finished and guess what happened.  It stopped raining the whole time I was doing my project.  A whole two hours!  The sun even started to shine!  I watched from the window in frustration.  Guess what happened the moment I stopped…  The rain started again!   Oh my goodness.  We have hardly any rain for months and the moment I want to do an outside project I’m completely thwarted!

So filled with frustration and hope that things will improve – I shall figure something out…  Maybe Hubby the Un-Gardener will set up a gazebo over my project if I ask him really nicely.  I really need to do something – the plants on my windowsills are getting desperate and spring is in two days!

Come again soon – hopefully I wouldn’t have gone crazy from sheer frustration!
