Raining here, and the lake, which has been frozen over for all of four days since last spring, already has big holes in it. Silver lining: the outdoor woodpile (what wouldn't fit in the shed) thawed enough for me to bring a big load in. Cat's mad at me again, as he blames me for the weather. My connection's down to 40 thou. (from 45 on a good day), and will get more unstable as everything gets wetter and windier.
