Rain the rest of the afternoon would be nice

Not sure I'll be that lucky, but it'd be nice. Not just the break, but we really do need the moisture. We're 2" below average for the month, and are also low for the year to date. Not a good beginning, weather-wise.

Courtney & I have been trying to stake the trees we planted last week. Got six done, including the ones that were leanig very badly after last night's wind. I suppose we could go finish in the rain, but the stake driver is heavy and hard to hold onto when it's dry; wet gloves on wet steel handles would be asking for another injury.

By worked for Terry yesterday as a carpenter, and hopes to finish that job today. Nice that he's working, nice thta it's indoors.
