The grass is growing and will soon need mowing.

Had my semiannual dermatologist appointment Monday and didn't get on the road until afternoon. Drove through two heavy thundershowers between Deposit and Hancock only to find the pavement dry in Lordville. By the time I had brought things in from the car the thunder and lightning had started and it rained for most of the rest of the day.

Jean is down for a couple days and we spent a quiet evening on the back porch watching the birds at the feeder and the deer in the back yard. Several adult does appeared without fawns (one was with her two yearlings). One mom came by with a set of twins (the first I've seen in the yard this year).

Water is up and muddy at Lordville. With flash flood warnings in effect again today, long drives to the river are probably not wise. If you are here you can probably fish the upper WB, the BK and the Willow. Can't speak to water clarity but the wading levels are fine.
