Sea of Grass

 

      Spring 2023.  Different than springs we have known for many years.

    

      In April, you could have walked out and seen the grader blade and a two-bottom plow.  Do you see it in June?

 

     The reason why?  Many days in late May and early June looked like this:

 

     Over eleven inches of rain from late May through mid-June.  Probably more than we got in the last two summers combined.

     Resulting in:

 

     Not too mention this:

 High water mark in the southwest basement window, 2.5” in the rain gauge.

Still drying out a week later.  Another 1.5” didn’t add to the basement problem.  But it did aid in eroding the gravel path into the back yard.

   No one is complaining.  It does call for some different action.  The old rotary mower can’t handle the three-feet of grass. 

 

               Coming soon, a sickle mower.  As soon as I find it and dig it out of the grass
