Crawling through the grass

We've had rain ALL day today!  That may not sound like much to many of you, but since we've lived in northern CA, we've never had any rain after the first week of June, at the latest.  So to have a full day of rain is most peculiar.

So today isn't a day for crawling through the grass - not for me anyhow - but this little ladybird doesn't seem to mind the rain.

A new customer commissioned this bracelet from me. I hope she likes it. What do you think Lucie?

How is your weather? Is it unseasonable and odd?  Our vines are in flower which is just the time we don't want rain.  If it rains when they are in flower, all the pollen can just be washed off and then there will be no grapes.  Fingers crossed most have pollinated already.
