It rained overnight but either it was not loud enough for me to hear it or I just slept thru it all. Now it is clearing and the sun is trying to come out. That would be nice as the sun can dry everything out.

First snow this morning. Less than half an inch & changed to rain later on. Just annoying enough to make driving difficult when I had a Dr. appointment.

Yikes snow. I am glad there was no snow here as we had rain overnight. Totally overcast today and very damp and chilly feeling.

Weather Underground said there would be light drizzle during the day so looks like another day that I don't get any gardening done.

Lately is is either raining or has recently rained so everything is wet and it is damp out. Don't know when I can get back to finishing up the last of the garden mulching.

It has been damp lately. I have been using a doubled over, heavy duty plastic bag under my folded over scatter rug, and lately a cushion on top to keep my knees from freezing. Tomorrow is the last decent day for a while.

I managed to finish the JI garden in 3.5 freezing hours, wearing two winter jackets and insulated gloves. I even did the path. Glad it's done with dropping temp's.
