Crazy weather. Earliest ice out on Lake Winnipesaukee since records were kept, No snow in March in Michigan since records were kept. Are we in for a long hot summer or another rain out like last year?

I heard on the Weather Channel this morning that some places in the Hudson Vally could get up to 9 inches!

No obscene jokes now!

No boat, back in the suds.

Gotta love the sandy soil of the Bournedale hills

Soaks up 5" of rain like Speedi-Dry.

I'm worried about it being another wash out as well...

Incredible!!

I feel fortunate to not have to worry about flooding where I am, but I drove past a pond today that looked really close to coming up to the street level. Crazy!!!

Let's not forget that with all this rain/flooding, we;ll soon be dealing with a tremendous mosquito population.
Keep in mind that there will be pools of water for the little bloodsuckers to reproduce in the billions.
I'm going to put up a bunch of birdhouses. Our feathered friends do a good job on skeeters during the day. I would like to put up a bat house (or 2) but I don't know if we have bats in our area.
I look for them when I'm out in the yard during the warm months, but I haven't seen one yet.

I am planning on a couple of water gardens in large containers, and if the mosquitos want to lay their eggs there, they'll just be feeding the fish that will be there too!

Keep dry!

Yes there are definitely bats in the area, I see them routinely around my house. The numbers are not large and I find them difficult to attract to a bat house. Neighbors and I each have had vacant houses for years. Maybe there is a trick to getting them to taking up residence I haven't learned yet.

Given the diversity of the human species, there is no “normal” human genome sequence. We are all mutants.
