How's the weather?
Well I am getting a bit tired of this wet stuff myself. I don't live in Washington or Oregon. I live in sunny California and damnit I want my sunshine now...
I here that the whole valley has been put on state of alert for floods. I have been noticing that the rivers are getting higher and higher.
Hope everyone is high and dry.

Well I'm where it is high, but we're not dry.
Good thing we aren't upstream of you cause the creeks risin and it's still rainin' and the weekend don't look so good either.
Throw another sandbag on the levee and hope that the folks in the valley don't float away.
Good luck

I live in Lake county. This place is like a giant fishbowl that just fills up higher and higher when it rains. As it is now, I have to swim to work and then slog through mud and muck all day.
Please, make it stop...

somtimes its anoying when we dont get any rain for months at a time.but right now im glad the rain is dumping over there.
we have no place left to put any water.all of our resavors are full and the water is spilling over the spill way at the dam.and the snow in the mountains has not melted yet.in fact its still snowing in the higher elevations.
I think its time to buy a bigger boat.

Yes, I thought for sure we were going to get our feet wet Thursday and Friday - our ground is saturated. We had one cell that went through that was dumping an inch an hour - but it only lasted for a bit more than an hour.
The last couple of days have helped - moved the standing water out of the area and we did get some wind to help dry the ground out.
Still, I can not mow my grass - part of it is underwater, and the rest too wet and muddy.
Did get the back grass mowed - needed to because this year we get to have an Easter Egg Hunt again. It has been a few years - all the kids in the neighborhood grew up, but now they have kids old enough to start.
We are fixing a country breakfast for maybe 9 couples, Grandparents and parents for 3 kids. Was fun, Liz fixed up Easter baskets for the kids, and I colored 2 dozen eggs to hide.
We even have several wild rabbits who live in the junipers that are part of our landscaping, which I have been feeding a bit the last few weeks. They are tame enough not to hide unless you get too close.
There is one 3 year old boy who just knows they hide the eggs.

We had a record March for the number of days with measurable rain at something like 25 days out of 31.
So far in April, we've had 11 days of measurable rain.
It doesn't really bother me, because we're lucky to see the sun maybe a few weeks out of the year.
So many hills here, that the rain just rolls off and into somewhere else.
We also have this stuff called "fog".

That's the number one reason I don't think I'd want to live down there, Ben. Fog just depresses me worse than the endless rain. Number two is, of course, the mass of people. Hmmm, now that I think about it, you could reverse the order of those two...
Clint, I've finally reached the age where I can start hiding my own Easter eggs!
BTW, when is Easter this year? It's coming up pretty soon, isn't it?

LOL, I did that this last weekend, lost something for 24 hours, found it right where I put it. . . .
Now, whomever keeps ordering the white stuff can quit, I got another foot of it over the weekend, just when I getting to see my yard after several months.
I'm supposed to move in a parts rig this week, could be a challenge now, was going to be a piece of cake till Sunday.
Guess I'll have to put it off again and paint the bathroom instead
.
Come on spring!

Dayum, busted LOL
I'll get you something before the end of the week.
My newest poser pics are still in the camera so it will be the sos as in my gallery.
I will throw in at least one of me during my five minutes of fame, each time only lasted a minute, but I got it 5 times!
