Awoke to a white powder coating on the ground this am! Sunny spring looking afternoon. The trees must like this weather as well as they gifted us 390 + 18 gallons today! So in retrospect it was a great call to process the 270 gallons from yesterday last evening!!

The source of tonight's blog is the rumor chain with no accuracy promised. At press time people who might know what happened are asleep or in the shower and the 3 in the camp sound like they no longer care (Brad, Bob, Adam). 

Word has it....... Erin, Tinleigh, Brad, Kelsey, Muff, Adam, Maddie, Katie, Bret, Phil S., Aiden and Kylie gathered tonight. Dale drove...and did report back through the grape vine..... how impressed he was that Morgan rode the wagon and repeatedly lifted full 5 gallon buckets and that he was thankful that was not his job tonight! Brad expressed appreciation that Melissa sent food. 


As of  10 pm there were 9 inches in the upper tank. On the good side, it is 28 degrees out. On the bad side... it will not stay 28 degrees until tomorrow evening.
