Pros and cons of a wet week

Pros

1. Morel mushrooms
 

I found them while out walking the dogs. Highly unexpected, as I associate mushrooms with autumn, but now I know better. They were yummy fried in butter on toast. So great to have fresh veg again. 

2. Seeds germinating

First Pea Row doing well

 Second Pea Row is also poking above the ground.

Lettuce

Leeks

Potatoes

3. General green-ness
Contrast the picture on the left, which looks like a summer drought but was actually taken a month ago, with the picture on the right, taken today, of the same location.
The whole region was looking very brown, and it's lovely to see it looking lush and green again.


Cons

Doggy paw prints all over the floor

Pustie paw prints all over the sink

What a good thing wet weather means I'm stuck indoors due to the wet weather  and I might as well do some cleaning.
