Weather

We have been spoilt nine weeks no rain now it will probably rain till next April.
I hate the fine rain that stays all day, the chickens huddle together protesting about having to stay in their run, my neighbour laughed when I put the large umbrella up for them, I now put the cover from the trampoline over them. Doris is over her broody time and now laying again, as the whole neighbourhood could hear this morning. Noisy or what!!! Our plum tree has kindly given us about three to four plums each year, this year it nearly fell over with the weight, I have made six pounds of plum jam there are five plum crumbles in the freezer and some already eaten, plus all the ones we gave away to friends. This weekend we are attending a carnival and if it is raining we won't be there, although soap goes with water, it does not go with rain.
The last outing we had where it had rained we were in a marquee but all the packaging was feeling damp and I did not dare pull the bath bombs out, people look at me strange when I say I can't put the bath bombs out, but can you imagine having two dozen bath bombs on a table all fizzing at the same time, early fireworks. Made six lavender and six dewberry yesterday, now have to make the icing to ice them before the weekend. Sat the evening wrappping two dozen soaps need to make some more this week.
