April Fools – 16.67”
Never one to complain about the rain, another .56” stands in this morning’s rain gauge, sun trying to break through the low, light clouds on the ridge. Another storm predicted for Sunday and Monday.
We are indeed limited to the asphalt, hillsides leaking streams, ground too boggy to ride – not a time to let cabin fever lead you off to work for hours knee-deep in clay on the end of a shovel or dragging cable. However, any minute I expect the weekend caravan of 4-wheel drives to roar up the road to play in the mud and snow. A couple of truck lengths apart, 15-20 at a time, they will race up the hill like young colts and limp back singly, come evening, with one or two on trailers.
With several projects running concurrently here at the house, we’re busy working ‘round the rain.
