Reasons to be outside before a storm

Annie and Sarah ham it up

Big thank you to Sarah, Chris, Annie and Matt who all came out to the gardens today. We were able to get a lot of work done during a mostly dry, if a bit blustery break, before the storm. We've had such little actual rainy weather in the last fews years that I had forgotten how fun it is to be outdoors as a storm is coming in. 

Lots of extra energy in the air and a feeling of let's get this done now made for a fun and productive workday! Matt and Annie potted up a bunch of echiums for later planting in the dog area, and Sarah, Chris and I made a good dent in the fluffy weeds that are popping up everywhere. After getting a good workday in outdoors we can now justify finishing up those holiday cookies with hot cocoa, right?
