It is still raining and we are expecting more.  Anyone besides me on the 
West Coast ancient enough to remember the winter of '64?  Sure feels the 
same and I think I'm beginning to grow moss <g>

We are going to have to transplant some young fruit trees.  There was no way 
to tell that part of the old garden area had standing water in wet years.  I 
mean, wet years around here are scarce as hen's teeth!  We have a swamp and 
short of putting in a French drain it isn't going anywhere until about June 
or July!  The trees are not happy campers!

Water is so hard to find out here that they changed the zoning to 20 acre 
minimums.  It had been 5 acres but they started to have wells run dry!

Go figure, we'd find the only place with a swamp <g>  Next thing you know 
we'll be finding dinaseur bones!  We've certainly got enough big rocks from 
the ice age!
