What a warm and extremely windy day. The wind kept Dennis busy cleaning leaves out of the pond and I got a fair amount of exercise by picking up branches. To the north this evening, the skies are ominous. With the temps in the low 80s today . . . it’s not a good forecast. Though the grasses are turning green without any rain at all, I can only imagine what rain would do for the new growth of grass. The lawnmowers would, for sure, be getting a work out.
