We've had several days of rain and severe afternoon storms that have left the ground impossibly wet. I managed to get out to the veggie bed and hoe up some of the rouge grass that continuously invades the fertile soil. There are flowers on the tomato plants. Surprisingly the plants that are looking the best are the ones I grew myself from seed. Go figure. :D The peppers don't seem to have grown at all, which I don't understand because I Miracle Grow-ed everything on one of the drier days.
Cicada's still aren't out in force. I don't know if the rain is holding them back or if they just aren't going to come out as bad as I assumed they would.
There is a pair of evil looking snakes that have made a home in a bamboo tree by my front door for the last two days. Hubby won't touch them. I'm sure as hell not touching them. If I knew for a fact that they were not of a poisonous variety I would knock them out and kill them. Yes, you heard me, I would kill them even if they weren't poisonous. But they look suspiciously like copperheads. I'll post a picture of them later if they are still there and you can tell me what to do. ;)
