In June of 1947, a record was set here; 18 inches of rain fell that month.  As of earlier this evening, before it began to pour down by the buckets again, we had 13 inches of rain.  The month is barely halfway over.  At this rate, we’ll be setting a brand new record and I’ll be building that Ark I mentioned in a recent post.

     I have a bag of grass seed I’d like to spread over a few thin areas of grass in the yard, but I can’t, it’ll all wash away and my next door neighbor will have my lush lawn, not that she wouldn’t appreciate it.  Heck, she’d probably dance for joy.  After all, she has all the rich soil from the old vegetable garden that used to be on that side of my yard.  Over the years, it’s managed to wander out of my yard and move to hers, leaving us behind, so why not my grass seed too.

     Now I think I’ll go measure and saw a cubit or two of gopher wood, gather up some nails, locate some canvas, and find a hammer.  Happy sailing everyone.
