Down to the swimming hole? Or... perhaps what I have heard referred to as a "French shower"? (standing at a basin with a washcloth) :P
I am glad to know you and hope we are able to stay in touch as the weather/climate/events gets weirder. I have seeds and skills, and a tiny bit of dirt that gets sunshine, so I'm going to continue to do whatever I can here, for as long as I'm here. Your skills and friendship is valued.
Now your rain has disappeared? Funny, you were swamped earlier in the year when I was parched. Now I'm getting rain, finally. Not sure it'll last, but we're getting some at the moment anyway. I hear Vancouver is drenched, but that's Vancouver, and it's late October, that happens.
