...and then the rains came!
So far in 2011, NE Ohio has had the rainiest spring in more than 50 years. I haven't been able to mow since Mothers Day, and the place looks like a jungle!!
It's also made me aware of ALL of the repairs that need to be made.
The downspout on the barn somehow disappeared.
The full length of gutter on the front of the barn came down in an ice storm this winter and is waiting in the field to be re-hung.
The gutter on my garage has a gap in it and the water is making a nice little rut in the grass below.
Yet, Samson has taken it all in stride. He doesn't seem to mind that a small lake has developed in the back field. :-)
And it doesn't look like the poor farmers will be able to plant anytime soon.
But! I did notice something remarkable as we walked the back field last night... glimmers of sunshine!
Ever so slight, and yet even the smallest rays are a welcome sight these days!!
