It is raining in Austin today. Thank heavens! This rain will help us greatly as we have been in an Extreme Level Drought for a few years now. Lake Travis is less than 50% full right now. So let it rain! As an avid organic gardener I was at a loss for what to do when it rains. So I found several seminars this weekend on how to plant specific times and how to prepare your garden. Take a look and see if one of these local events interests you. Maybe I will see you there!

Wow! It's been a while since any rain has hit us here, but then again our rainier season is approaching, granted the hot weather dies down. Though no one can complain about the warm sunshine.
I hope you'll remember me if you learn of anyone moving to "The OC" and I will do the same!
Best regards.
