June 30 June has faded into the twilight. It was a good month. We tallied 4,24 inches of rain, more than twice our June average over the last 16 years. The place greened up nicely for or 4th of July gathering. That event was well attended. Our annual trip to Red River went well. Everyone seemed to enjoy it.

This month I converted to a new web hosting service and, well, things aren’t quite working, mostly due to my ineptness I suppose. I thought everything was working and wrote the post as the month went along on my phone, but I’ve discovered that even though it told me it was saving the post, it wasn’t. Maybe I’ll add to this as time goes by but for now, we’ll just have to live with an abbreviated version. Under the circumstances, I will offer a refund to all who request one.

April 1 No April Fools We got .14 of an inch of rain last night. More is needed, certainly, but that’s a good start.

April 8 Eclipse Hooray! Eclipse Day! So excited. I have my eclipse glasses ready to go. Can’t wait.

In other news, Chris got fed up and retired. Says he liked his job and all but his boss gave him the fantods and he decided to walk just because he could. April 5 was his last day and we had a minor celebration during happy hour. He says he has been so busy at work lately that he’s built up a list of to-dos that will keep him busy for a while. After that, who knows. It will be interesting to see what mischief he gets into as time goes by.

February 11 Snow was predicted for Sunday and so it passed that I spent the day holed up in my comfy little house reading, listening to music and watching the snow come down. Saturday was damp and dismal so I spent the day inside as well, but I was grateful Friday was suitable for outdoor activities and Abigail and I got a good start on cleaning up the southeast tree line. Wednesday we were able to do a little trimming and load up the proceeds plus previous collections and make a brush site run, which we were glad to do because it wasn’t a very pleasant day. In fact, it started to rain just as we were dumping our load. Gosh, had to run the windshield wipers driving home. We only had Wednesday and Friday to work on account of our trip down southeast so we eschewed the Bluff and worked on SA.
