I’m at the “you trolled and now you clean” part of motherhood, in case anyone was wondering.

Devrryn Jenkins see? This is “normal”. I know my people 😂

If you were my left-handed gloves, where would you be?

I’m officially hooked on this sweet, mild, CRONCHY romaine-type lettuce 😍.

This Crisp Mint lettuce was started in a seed snail before being transplanted outside in one of our beds. So far we’ve enjoyed this lettuce as wraps and munching outside but I’ll be doing a salad with it today or tomorrow.

🌵This is IMPORTANT!!!
💧📏RAINFALL DEFICIT UPDATE: 1 YEAR CALCULATION
📍Baltimore's BWI (for example) 1 Year To Date:
👉 9.4 inches BELOW normal rainfall over the last 365 days. May 19 2025 to May 18 2026.

😮That’s roughly equal to 2 MONTHS of average precipitation MISSING 🌧️➡️☀️.

👀Another way to look at this:
🗓️-6.11” Since Jan 1
🗓️-23.02” Cumulative shortfall since Jan 1, 2024
😮That’s roughly equal to 6 MONTHS of average precipitation needed to break even!!!

What this can mean:
▫️ Drier soils & stressed BROWN lawns/gardens
▫️ Lower stream levels in some areas. Liberty Reservoir by Rt. 140 was non existent when I drive by yesterday.
▫️ Faster drying during warm, windy stretches
▫️ Growing concern if summer heat increases

‼️Even after occasional heavy rain, long-term deficits can take months to erase.

🤔Have you noticed your yard, local creeks, or ground conditions seeming unusually dry this spring?
