Rain let up here this morning. Stuck the oldest grandson down on the creek this morning. Hope he sees something. 👍

2 weeks of rain would be 2 weeks of snow up here. But, we are so dry we would take it.

Be glad ya don't live in Oregon.. we're coming into the time of year, its like you don't see the sun for 6 months...

I live down near the California line... the further north ya go, it just gets worse...more overcast and plenty more rain...

After 3 years up near Seattle when I was in the Army, I got engaged to a gal from Minnesota and we moved there.
My first impression of Minnesota after 3 years in Washington State, "God does the sun shine here a LOT"

that wouldn't even gather most folks attention here in Oregon for the next 4 or 5 months.

No pot holes in the road, that resemble Lake Michigan.. no waterfalls crossing the road, no ditches that look like the Mississippi River, and no sloppy mud, to send you off the side of a 4,000 ft mountain side.

Heck in Oregon, that looks like a Rural Main Thru Road... get up by Potlandia and then up into Washington, it gets a lot worse it it isn't paved..

a Lot of main Forest Service roads are paved out here because of that...

I don’t mind the rain and even enjoy hunting in it myself, but this PNW crap of being overcast and just wet for weeks sucks. That and the gumbo mud on my place that sticks to everything (tires, feet, …) in 3-4” layers… 🤬

Maybe the county will call off the burn ban. I have a 2 year old brush pile that needs to go.

I sit in my box blind.
Straight ahead is a huge wheat field. Southern Oklahoma.
Out the left window, I see the broad expanse of the meandering Red River and over into Texas.
Tuesday afternoon was gorgeous! Sunny, 60° and calm winds.
Haven't seen the sun since. Windy, cloudy, cold, just no rain! That comes tomorrow!
Wheat pastures are a bit slim but these damp, moisture laden days will give them a boost. A little rain and they will be calf deep.
Wish I was a duck hunter! This has been perfect "jump shooting" weather.

We started burning Monday. NRCS Ashe Juniper removal project. We too, hadn’t had an opportunity to burn in well over a year and a half. May burn more today. I think we burned 18 big piles Monday.

We're headed to Comfort this morning. I'm hoping we got enough rain to fill the barn cisterns back up .Lease mate said the deer were moving good earlier in the week.
