It's finally raining!

We got some wonderful rain last night (they're saying almost 2 inches!), which normally wouldn't be a big deal here but we've been in a terrible drought lately so it's great, because in this area, the dirt is either concrete or slimy mud. But today my husband and I went out and planted a grapevine in the backyard and the dirt was actually just right.

This week I found some lovely "ornamental" kale plants, which I'm going to be planting in the front yard over the next few days.
