We didn’t even have early April weather in April down here. LOL! Very dry month and May’s turning out to be as bad. Be glad have rain for your gardens.

We aren’t worried about our lawn. The less it grows, the less we mow. :-)
But our poor little soybeans that just started sprouting could sure use a good drink.

What would be really nice would be a good rain, then some WARM temps. It was chilly here again today. Sweater weather. brrrrrrr!

Hi radu, I hope your day was fine!

The full moon ought to make interesting for the herd tonight!

Son came over for breakfast at 9:00 this morning and we visited and hung until about 3:00.

I was telling son that today is the 36th anniversary of the Mt. Saint-Helens volcanic eruption west of here. I was stationed at Fort Lewis South of Seattle and we only got a little ash fall.

But over here in Yakima where I now live, they got a foot to a foot and a half of ash, ALL OVER THE CITY, people were shoveling and cleaning up the ash for months afterwards. It was devastating.

I remember my FIL telling me that 10 years after the eruption, he was ripping out a hedge bush in his yard and found the skeletal remains of one of his cats who must of hid in the hedge when the volcanic ash started falling and suffocated in it.

What a time that was!

Anyway, just chilling out now.
