Seldom were the windshield wipers turned off on the drive from The Little House. Never have I seen so much water in the fields and it became increasingly wet the father east travelled. There are snowbanks remaining in ditches and especially in the trees. Field work looks a long way off.
A bit of silver lining in the completion of the wetland restoration prior to the rainfall. The rain is ideal for the seeding of the bare soil in the restoration area. While the work was too late to capture the runoff from the snow melt perhaps the rain will start some ponding below the dams.
Return to the OFH was prompted by a granddaughter's birthday on Monday. With the inclement weather there wasn't much for me to do there so may as well enjoy some time here. There are family and friends to see, mail to sort, etc. It's a blessing to have both places.
Takk for alt,

Fact: South Dakota has 3,800,000 head of cattle...nearly 4.3 for every state resident. 😀
