It's pouring again this morning, with thunder and lightning. I like hearing it on the roof, but the plants don't need more rain and may get beaten down some. The Captain has set out some of the tomatoes and lots of the onion-type plants, including leeks and shallots. And mostly, it's not warm enough in the house when it rains. Yesterday, it didn't rain, although it was partly cloudy and cool--high about 60.

The river is beyond the sluice; both are very full.

wisteria time

We had a long walk and hung out a load of laundry before going to town a little late, just in time for Ray to teach. It was after 10:30 before I got to the Land Trust. I worked on another grant proposal and some more on the bike ride. Picked Ray up between 3:30 and 4 and headed home. We had soup, using up some butternut squash that I had used part of before, and some tired old cauliflower similarly hanging around. I threw in some canned garbanzos, to make it more of a full meal, for protein. It was quite good and did the trick. We did have some popcorn before supper that helped. I finally made the brownies I had started a few days ago--the third batch for Sunday (or second?).

Found an interesting movie called Hancock about a superhero who needs some PR, starring Will Smith. It is funny and sad and intriguing.

Went to bed a little after 10.
