Another Rainy Day

I woke up this morning to the voice of the radio weatherman predicting 90% chance of rain today. It's been gray all day, with low hanging clouds. Rain has begun to gently fall this afternoon. Thunder is rumbling ominously in the distance. Thankfully, in recent days the temperature has been in the upper 60's.

The warmth has been enough. Despite the lack of sunshine, the kale has grown noticeably in the last two days. The turnips have gone to flower. The beets have pushed their way through the dirt. Everything is thriving. Just wait until the sun comes out. There'll be an explosion of growth!

I left a couple of eggs, each marked with an X, in each of the two favorite nesting spots in the chicken coop yesterday. Trying to do what I can to encourage "broodiness".
