I am pleased to report that we made it out of our drought and abnormally dry conditions. We are back to normal moisture levels in the soil!
That’s exciting, but I don’t want to jinx it. I am literally about ten miles from the yellow. Last spring we spent about two weeks out of any drought conditions, and then pretty much all rain stopped.

So let’s say I am excited to be here and optimistic that it will last.
Of course, with rain comes lots of mowing. I managed to mow after work on Friday, but I had to wait until it dried off Saturday to use the push mower and weed eater.
It also means that my fence in the Back Forty is damaged again.
I mean, why on earth would the neighbor want to have waterways and do anything to protect the soil from eroding or not destroy their neighbor’s fence every time it rains?
How I would dearly love to find some place without neighbors.
