Today is supposed to be the warmest day we’ve had since last October 17th, which was before I closed on the house I’m living in right now. And that seems like a lifetime ago. To celebrate, I’m having the snow tires removed, and the summer tires put on. And an oil change while they’ve got it up in the air. As such, I’d put my money on a mid-April blizzard. Of course, with warm weather comes punishment – in this case, heavy thunderstorms are predicted for this afternoon. Guess I’ll get to see how the rain fade is with the new dish.

We have a new little pond, dug to accommodate the sump pump discharge. With the sump still running at about 5 times an hour, it’s filling up quite nicely. No need for a liner when your soil is about 90% clay. Next up is to try and line the banks with rocks and plants that like both water, clay, and the expected summer drought.

Oh well, it’s getting bright out there. Time to see if the pond filled up some more.
