Rain!

Finally after weeks we got some rain, and did we get rain. About 2.55 in less than 24 hrs according to my rain gauge. The timing wasn't very good since the morning rain prevented me from harvesting so I really didn't have enough to go to Farmers' Market since I can't put my wood items out in the rain. So now that it has stopped I have an abundance of squash/zucchini. So I am making zucchini bread (actually it is a combo of the regular zucchini and the zephyr squash.) I discovered a new feature on my kitchen aid mixer in the process and that is the slicer/grater attachment. It was great! It was sort of fun looking at the directions since this mixer might be older than I am. My mom doesn't bake much anymore and they brought it as one of many 'house warming' gifts.
I did sell some of the green beans to a co-worker and now I have another 1 lb which I might try to cook and freeze for later. (I have the zucchini for a vegetable right now.)
Well, considering the small lake behind the fence I think it can stop raining for a little bit and let that dry up. (Since they fixed the sewer manhole it doesn't have that to drain into anymore.
