Beautiful, gentle rain! It sounds lovely on the roof (hard to get up when it's so dark) and cools the house down. I don't want to close the windows, even though it makes it damp. The plants will really respond to it. Also, I don't need to go out and work in the garden or feel guilty, since it's raining. Better for cooking, for instance.

Yesterday's only activity was a Kenney Ridge finance committee meeting, which went well. I did some work in the garden and cooked up some filling for burritos. We went to feed the pigs and talked about when to "harvest" them.

Watched the first episode of Mad Men, that so many people have recommended, thanks to Netflix. I didn't love it enough to plan on watching more.
