Rain. Now with added thunder.

It's been wet here in the Woods of late. Pretty much constantly wet, or so it seems. There were seven consecutive rain-free days at the beginning of May. I was in Portland, OR for six of them. Since then, the pattern has mostly been rain, rain, rain, rain, no rain, rain, rain, no rain, no rain, rain, rain, rain.

This weather pattern has wreaked havoc on my usual practice of small engine abuse, aka mowing the lawn. The taller the grass grows, the longer it needs to dry enough to be mowed. The longer it goes without mowing, the greater the small engine abuse and the more Toad Woods looks like it ought to be renamed "Abandoned Woods."

Onward. For all this rain, you'd think I'd have made more progress on things indoors.
