A wacked out spring temp wise, mostly cold, then that string of record breaking high 80s.
With the snow melt, some areas got much needed melt to fully refill the wetlands, some partially, and some hardly made a difference. I have one 5 acre wetland that went up maybe 4". The mallard nest pipe is 20" higher elevation than the waterline. Usually there'd be at least 1' of water at it. Wet years 3' of water. Go figure.
Right now it's 1 week behind for the greenery, normally I mow right before Opnr. I'll mow Wed this week for the 1st time.
Today Monday May 14th is a beautiful morning outside. Love the upper 40s low. Heading to 70s. No mosquitos yet. But the wood ticks... Them sum bitches are thick this year, pulling 1 to 2 off of me everyday. Pulled 1 off of my sac last night. WTF really? That was a 1st.
But hey, I'm still alive and kicking, unlike the 10 people that I knew in the last 17 week's who aren't anymore. Age 45 to 91. Heck only 3 were older than me. :/ Life goes on, until it doesn't....

God, help me be the man that my dog thinks that I am.
