May 1, 2009: WELCOME MAY!!! RAIN RAIN RAIN RAIN RAIN RAIN

  Wow – where did all this freakin rain come from?  What the heck.  We have picked up 3 inches at the farm since the 28th.  We are expecting 2-4 more inches by Monday.  Crazy weather.  Never a dull moment.  At least the severe weather threat looks low.  Slight risk, though.  More weather later next week.

  Looks like this is going to slow down our progress at the farm.  🙁  That sucks!  Maybe the sun will come out on Monday or Tuesday?  At least some dry weather?  I vote – yes.  Let’s hope so.

  Verizon has turned the phone on.  That is a good sign.  Now we will have to get some electricity up there!  lol  Internet, as well.

  Not much new on the H1N1 virus.  Seems to be spreading.  Who knows what will happen with that subject.  So far the virus has been mild.  Let’s hope it stays that way.  Everyone is hoping that is the case.  Not a good situation, though.

  I am hoping the shingles will go up on the house this week.  Then the windows can’t be too far behind?  Right?  🙂  I hope so!!!!  We need that house in the dry!  I think we are CLOSE – need better weather.

  Had lunch with Tracy and Sondra today (from head start in Metropolis).  Great lunch and nice to visit with them.  It has been awhile!!!!!  They seem to be doing great and the program is doing great, as well.  So, good news on all fronts.
