This morning, Sunday, it is snowing! Not much or enough to add much significant moisture but none too inspiring to get out and do anything. Guess I should take advantage of the chance to install some new parts on the tractor that needs doing.Ralph Goffhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04873610891410100788noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-994429952556375554.post-23959324371171586002010-04-24T08:07:20.581-07:002010-04-24T08:07:20.581-07:00It finally quit raining here in Oregon, well sort ...It finally quit raining here in Oregon, well sort of. I still can't finish spreading spring fertilizer on the grass fields. We had a fellow to put on liquid with a floater type sprayer but he had it calibrated wrong and now we still have to do it.

I'll never forget the year that it sprinkled every weekend, but that we'd gone literally months without a good solid rain.
