Still More Rain?
Friday, 9:45 am: Lots of rain and more on the way. If anything can be said about this spring it would be, “Early and wet.” But then again that’s weather; it’s not like death and taxes which are predictable and inevitable. Since this current weather event began we have received more than 1.87 inches of rain.
All work in our garden and on our lawn has ground to a stop until the rain stops and the soil dries out. The way things [rain] are going that could be in a week or two. In the mean time our lawn is turning into pasture land. Maybe we should take up mud wrestling instead of gardening?
My mother, visiting from Arizona, loves the rain. We complained that she brought all of this moisture with her, and she should be more careful what she wishes for. Obviously it didn’t work. Fortunately we have umbrellas.

Your mother's reaction is very reasonable, coming from Phoenix, where they go literally months without a drop and the humidity stays in single digits for months at a time. Not quite that dry where I live in Cottonwood, but yeah, you can send some of the wet stuff our way! Please tell your Mom Stephan says "hi."
