Last week saw a heat wave, this week is witness to cool temps and lots of showers.
Eli the Kitten knows how to keep dry.
As does Dirac the Cat.
When there is a break between downpours, I head on out. The rain is so much better for various young vegetables than my valiant attempts at watering.
Parsnips, which are wonderful, cream-coloured root vegetables with a sweet and earthy taste, have many a month of maturing ahead of them.
Rhubarb thrives on moisture, so it's happy.
Sweet red peppers are already forgetting the scorching heat.
Felines may adore catnip, but I suspect they love the smell of petrichor even more.
The peach and fig trees are as relieved as I am that they don't have to rely just on my spritzing them with a hose.
As do Shasta daisies and hydrangeas.
À la prochaine!
