Rain!

This morning I awoke to the wonderful sound of rain on my tin roof. For now the threat of forest fires is over, rain is in the forecast for the next few days. I cannot remember the last time it was this dry. My Dad and I were getting very concerned about our hay this season. The pastures are not growing like they should. Hopefully now there can be a nice balance between sun and rain.

Easter weekend there were two separate fires. One on DuPont Forest and the other on Pinnacle Mountain. The one on DuPont was a little too close for comfort, but the forest service and the fire departments were able to get it contained within a few hours. They were a long few hours.

Need to go now there is a very large thunderstorm happening.

Happy trails,
Catherine
