April showers brought May showers this year. It was a cool, rainy month with many cloudy, breezy days. We had three or four mornings with frost and freeze warnings. On the 12th, we had a strong thunderstorm with heavy wind.

Rainfall this year was 4.80″. Last year the total was 6.12″. Pine Creek looks very nice.  The rafters and canoers had a good month to enjoy Pine Creek, as did fishermen.

Of course, the plentiful rainfall made the grass grow. The lawn tractors hit the lawns in force. The acres of lawns now look like well-maintained golf courses. That all takes time. I wonder what other things are neglected.
