Rain Delay

At this point, May is the Washington area's fourth wettest in history. It does slow down the garden journal, but after a year suffering from no rain I am grateful. A few years ago my father took a cutting of an "India Frills" Coleus back home to Houston. He has since started about a billion plants. Mine didn't make it through the winter in my basement. I bought another India Frills this year and paired it with some Creeping Jenny but won't go into competition with him for the most plants.

Yesterday the Blue Angels arrived to practice for the annual Naval Academy graduation show. It was so overcast I didn't bother to go outside. I did see two of them pass by my office window, though. I am hoping it will be better today for the real show, but scattered showers are in the forecast.
