It's been a very rainy summer. I think I remember hearing for the month of June it rained 23 of 30 days. It rained more days than it did in Seattle, although it wasn't steady rain really, just a series of never-ending thunderstorms. Which is just fine with me. I also on a couple of occasions grabbed all 12 plant kids from their various shelves and tables and set them out on the fire escape for a shower or two. They certainly seemed to like having all the dust washed off and getting a drink of rainwater.
