Thanks to my brother-in-law Kaarel for his inspiration for the above comic. :-)

The comic at the bottom of this page is inspired by the current lack of rain in Toronto. Lots of predictions of precipitation, but no follow-through. Very frustrating. I never used to get this worked up about weather before!

But I'm enjoying watering our garden, I have to admit. It gives me a chance to get to know every corner, watch the changes. I've expanded our small herb garden a bit; it now contains mother-of-thyme, lavender thyme, lemon thyme, rosemary and oregano.

Renovations going well, except the paint colour I chose for my office walls sucks. Instead of nice pale yellow, it looks like the stuff left behind when aliens explode in science fiction movies. I thought I didn't really care what colour the walls would be since they're going to be mostly covered up in bookshelves, but the awfulness of this colour is so over-the-top that even I can't stand it.

I don't understand...it looked so HARMLESS on the paint chip! Ah well. Sean already bought two gallons of it, so Jeff and I are going to add some white to it tomorrow to try to tone down the alien exploded head factor.
