It's been constant rain. The well roads are mud. The yard has standing rain on it. If we want to go canoeing in May, we will probably have to carry the canoes a couple hundred yards vice getting up to the barn overland via vehicle. The springs are bursting. We got the mower deck on the tractor, but my 94 year old father in law has had enough dry days to attack the grass. Come up and get some rain of you want it
