Okay. It DOES rain all the time.

We went to the Northwest Folklife Festival yesterday afternoon to listen to music. It rained. We went to Kell's for dinner with friends and to listen to music. It rained.

When we woke up this morning, it was raining. It's pretty much rained the whole weekend so far, and the only good thing I can say about that is that the plants and flowers that we bought on Saturday should be easy to plant. We won't need a shovel. We'll need a siphon. But at least the ground will be soft.

Hopefully tomorrow we'll have some break in this weather, some sunny window of opportunity that will make us feel like getting outside to garden and get some exercise.

As we've said all weekend: "Ah. Welcome to Summer in Seattle." And we've also repeated the oft-told joke:

"What do you do in Seattle during the summer?"

"If it falls on a weekend, we go on a picnic."
