Looked about my neighborhood and things look good. Sure we just had
one heck of a rain storm but that was 2 days ago. My basement is dry
I'm happy and spring is in the air.

Meanwhile my Brother and Dad's house next door about four feet lower
then me whose grounds look the same have a raising water table putting
about 18 inches of water into the house. Pumps working hard but the
water keeps on coming at least it is clean water. Three homes 1/4 mile
away are now condemned .
Never in 50 years have we seen any thing like this. Fancy sump pumps
on order but water lever is a lot of water.
Still started some seeds this afternoon and feel sort of puny and
dazed.


Is there a road into your forest? My god it looks dense. It looks like
Mirkwood.

Still have to discard some furniture from two houses soon.


I don't know how you can find anything in that eternal twilight under
the forest's canopy. I presume that the small clearing that I can see
from 423 miles up, must be where your house is. It's not really a
clearing, just fewer trees ;O)

Billy, turning it up and listening to tinnitus on mp3.
