As a gardener, I'm always amused when I hear a TV weather forecaster say that it's "threatening showers". To a gardener, showers aren't a threat. They're a godsend. Of course we can get water to our plants through a hose attached to a tap, but we know how much more stimulating our green friends find non-chlorinated water. We've seen how they literally jump in size overnight when there is a nice, slow steady rain that lasts for several hours. So when we hear the words, "threatening showers", we smile and hope they will arrive after sundown and last at least half the night.
