Saturday, March 14
Many of you saw robins long before I did.
March 14 was the first day for me this year.
It was a rainy, cool day which quickly melted the many inches of snow that was on the ground.
We left the house in the late morning – to have lunch with Cerwin’s mother.
My favorite mules were standing near the buildings – getting free baths.
We took a low road that Cerwin usually avoids when it is raining, but today I convinced him to take it so I could get pictures of water on the road and in the fields.
He tried to make water splash over the windshield for a camera shot, but I only managed to get a picture of a bit of the splash – in the lower right of the above photo.
A cardinal welcomed us with his “cheer, cheer, cheer” as we walked toward the entrance of the area of Landis Homes where Mother lives.
The rain had stopped by the time we left, but its effects remained.
On the way home we came upon a very flooded area.
The reflection in this picture makes the pole look like it is placed in the center of the road.
I love a rainy day!
Oh, my — you really don’t need more water — I can definitely see why Cerwin avoids that road when it’s rainy! I hope your flooding doesn’t get worse — but it looks as if the snow is pretty much melted now. It looks as if we’ve seen the last of this year’s rain — we are at 1/4 of the annual average now, and the snow pack isn’t much better! It will be another hot, dry summer here.
We could not believe how quickly the snow vanished with this rain.
We had a snowy day today.
I heard that it is snowing there. We could get a bit of snow from that same weather system.
