Out like a lamb, baby!!

We had the wettest March on record here in NY. Thank the Lord above that our basement didn’t flood or anything wretched like that. We lost a couple trees in the storms (including on that’s IN the pond – the ducks kind of dig it, though) but none hit the house. And after all that [...]
