Another weirdly cool and cloudy day; I'd have said it was threatening rain, but ... that would be abnormal for here, and isn't in the forecast. (The Chron guy, however, is wittering on about a chance of rain tomorrow night and Friday, in SF at least.) So I did what I could to tempt it: put 2 loads of laundry on the line (the second one didn't dry much), including the frilly curtains from the back door, then mowed the larger patch of grass in back. Found and removed the season's first foxtails, and my latest itchy bite is in the middle of my back. Monty rolled in the driveway in front of me as I was finishing feeding the greenwaste bin. No rain.
