June Showers Bring Flowers and PUDDLES!

One thing I did not realize with the wet days we had this winter was that June is the rainy season here.  It is called "tsuyu" meaning "plum rain" because it coincides with plum ripening season.  I am looking forward to eating some of those, but for now, we are enjoying the puddles...

So, it's a little extra laundry for Mommy, but its hard to replace that excitement.  Also rewarding after I just read this article about how girls who are allowed to play in the mud grow up healthier...  http://mynorthwest.com/?nid=11&sid=493934

Soon I'll get to some photos of the beautiful summer gardens.
