Okay Rain..please be gentle to my seedlings

OMG....it is raining literally cats and dogs in Santa Monica this morning. The LA Marathon is also going on and people are getting soaked out there. Our pine tree that we used two years ago is getting a good wash. It needs to be planted but it sits on our patio stressed out. We have a few cymbidiums that I had for over a decade still blooming here and there. They are nearly at the end of their life due to my lack of time to pamper them.
It is gray, cold, and rainy out. Yesterday I had a chance to check on my plants at the garden plot. They all seem to have that I love this cloudy day look. My peas might have rotted in the mulch. Who knows? My mustard greens all seem to have germinated fine. The seed packet said that it had a very low germination rate. Well... it looks like all have germinated. We rode our bikes to Third Street and passed by the Santa Monica Community Garden on Main Street. Then we decided to eat dinner at Urth Caffe. As we approached a pole to park our bikes and trailer, there was a whizzing sound. One of the tires had a puncture. So we ate in frustration and decided to put the bikes on the bus. At 7:50pm, we all hopped on the No.1 BIG BLUE BUS back to our place with the bike trailer and all. It was a lovely sight.
