Rain Rain Go Away, Leah wants to go out and play

I have seeds sitting in soil, hopefully germnating even as we sleep. I have bulbs that are secreaming to get to the soil. I have strawberry sets, and small grape vines trying to get throught the screens of the door to reach the sunshine. So what am I doing? I'm sitting in the studio on a computer. Fussing because its rained for 3 days and I can't get to the soil and plant them.

The house we bought lives at the bottom of a hill, so I can't get the beds ready yet. Still, the woods invite me. There will be mushrooms for eating and dyeing soon. Chantarelles can do both I've heard. Lichels are growing so thickly on some of the trees that They are beginning to create small waving curtains of seafoam green. I'm excited to see if any will yield the coveted fuscias and purples I've seen on ravelry.

Lots of flowers are making their way to the top of the soil, I'm starting to think that my predicessor was a gardener!

Enjoy the rain and hope for it to stop soon!

Live well and dye happy,

Leah
