I picked a bucket up from the yard today, it was left out seven days ago. I took the tape measure out just to see how deep the water was – 11 inches in seven days. Will it quit raining soon? The meadow sure is green. El Niño is warmer this summer than it has been since 1983 – the year Hoover dam went over the top with Colorado snow melt water. Should be a huge winter. Last winter there was seven feet of pack in here, what will it be this winter? Great tree skiing no doubt.
