Workin' in the rain

This weekend I volunteered at the Chicago Botanic Garden's "Blooming Sale." I have done this for the past three years and really enjoyed it. This year it rained. I worked from 12:30 to 4 on Friday, and for most of the afternoon it rained. I did have a good rain jacket, so I didn't get soaked, but my foot were wet, my hands were wet, even though I wore garden gloves. The most ironic thing about Friday was that the sale did a terrific business. There was a line of people waiting to get in, and we were busy for most of the time. When the rain stopped, most of the people were gone. On Saturday morning I worked again. The day was cool but sunny. The sale wasn't nearly as busy as Friday. O well.
