Finally no rain.
Apr. 17th, 2026 09:41 amat least for a while. We've gotten 3" this week, and 6" for the month. Yeah, it's a bit soggy out there. At least our ground had already thawed and the snow all melted, or we'd be like the northern part of MI, with flooding and washouts and dams being overtopped or just failing. There was a tornado in A2 on Tuesday night -- we just got storm and straight-line winds. No-one was physically hurt as far as I know. (I saw someone complaining that the tornado siren woke them up. Um, er. Isn't that the point?)
I have a lot of branches to pick up, all over the yard. And it would be a good time to pull stems from the gardens without stepping into the really soft ground. J ripped out 2/3 of the (oh so overgrown!) forsythia clump, so I need to do some remediation over there as well. I need to ask him to get the cottonwood saplings out of the shrubberies behind the garage.
J has finished his project for someone else, so now he begins the project for us. The small plastic storage shed we put up over a decade ago had started to really fall apart, so he's replacing it with a sturdier, larger one. The parts and plans will show up next week sometime, and then the work begins.
