D.O.P.-T.

They are saying we'll get more rain tomorrow, so I mowed the grass in front for the first time all season (a rat jumped out of the mower as I went to put it away, and ran into the garden; at least it's out of the garage), planted an onion that had sprouted, and turned the compost heap again, harvesting a bit more to replace what I've used. Then Mama Violet was impatiently awaiting dinner. This evening, I saw Fluffy for the first time in a while; I'm glad that beautiful but hateful cat is still kicking.
