Monsoon Season



P0591_FarmKurtDigging (40k image)

It's been a wet spring... a very wet spring. The Oregonian newspaper published an article in early June that revealed that we got something like 4.8" of rain in May... almost double what we received in February! This has really slowed down work on my drainage project. You just can't grade trenches when they're full of water. The picture above is from one of the few times I was able to work on it in late May. Sadly, immediately after this day, we resumed Monsoon season: cool, unseasonably wet weather.
