Cloudy with a chance of Artichokes

Steady rain. Cloudy. Driving rain. Sunshine and a rainbow. Overcast. Windy. Microburst and rain pouring off the roof in landscape-lacerating arcs. Silent night. Songbirds in the morning.

Weird weather over the last 30 hours or so, but hey, my water tanks are topped off again, so I am happy. And Jillian discovered a few of these as we were inspecting the front yard for storm damage. She is anticipating the first artichokes of the season with twinkle-toed delight. Seriously, she was dancing around the yard, but then she does that whenever a new plant in the garden starts to produce edibles for us.
