As I gaze out my window on a cool, soggy Sunday morning, expansive puddles
dot my landscape and many perennials lay flattened by our most recent round
of torrential downpours. For those of us who love to till the soil, weather
rules our very existence, and the Weather Channel or weather.com are often

first cup of morning coffee. Gratefully, this year's abundant moisture has
alternated with periods of warmth and sunshine allowing soils to dry out
somewhat between our deluges and most plants seem to be responding
favorably, growing with almost a tropical lushness.

The seagulls are abandoning the coast for the bright lights of the city
because they have found rich pickings on streets and landfill sites. He
played down any Hitchcockian overtones but said staff advised people
