Its the pits......

 7:43 am - First Saturday - May 3rd - Seal Rock, OR - 46° F, 93% humidity, wind - zero mph out of the north.....cloudy again today with a forecast high of 54° F.  On this date in 2018 we were in Ashtabula, OH having a few brews, and a late lunch at Briquettes Smokehouse......↴



We had a record 15 checkouts Sunday morning, and since it was a little crowded in the park for gravel work Terry asked me to go through each of the 15 checkout sites, and clean out each firepit.  TLE's shift was from 11 am to 2 pm, so I started my day with her intending to work just two hours, and by 1 pm I had finished the last of the 15 checkout sites, and all 15 firepits were ready for the next customers.....


......I was just going to head home, but decided at the last minute to take the posthole digger up to our site to finish transplanting the remaining five escallonia bushes over to the new fence line I created back in March when we were completing the 'lido deck' pad.....


....by the time I finished with the escallonias it was 2 pm, and TLE was arriving home.  I ran the cart back down the hill to put it away in its shed, and was back home in minutes.

Over the course of the afternoon the skies began to clear somewhat, and by late afternoon we had a lot of blue sky.  The trend towards much less rain, and more dry days continues along with higher low temperatures (46° F this morning).  Most mornings lately there has been no dew, and the ground is pretty dry.....it is a good trend.  This time last year we were heading toward Flagstaff, AZ to escape the 100° temps of Wittmann, AZ.  TLE and I continue to be asymptomatic to the Wuhan Flu, and there is no doubt we will continue to be so.  Ahhh, the blessings of living in rural America!
