Sheesh. We don't need a repeat of last summer, and the summer before. My plants would appreciate a little warmth and sunshine.

1. We've only had a little rain, but it's been COLD-- really cold-- here.
My order of tomatoes and other veggies is supposed to arrive today, but there is NO WAY I can plant them outside yet. So, the kitchen table has been prepped as an interim nursery. Brrr... :(

2. Yup.
I take it your out east somewhere.

Here in Michigan, we've made up for our slight winter/early spring precip deficit over the last 2 weeks. We had torrential rains several times, and the ground is all squishy, grass remains un-mown because it hasn't stopped raining.

Said to be nice for the weekend and again later next week. I hope they're right.

We too need a warmer summer. Record cold in the Detroit area last July made my garden pretty unhappy. Warm weather crops were pretty much a bust last year. Irony was, I never got a lot of my cool weather crops, like all of the brassicas, planted due to lack of time. Goes to figure, doesn't it.
