Rain

 It has been a wet May.  More lately, it has rained every day since Monday. Not continuously, but enough every day that the rainfall totals keep climbing and the ground is saturated.

Here in central Louisiana, we don't have it as bad as in Lake Charles or Baton Rouge, where they are experiencing flooding, but everything is saturated and the creeks and bayous are backing up.  Our church has had to cancel the rodeo that was scheduled for tomorrow night because the arena is a muddy mess.  We've rescheduled for next Friday.

This type of weather is precisely why Belle and I build the shop.  We're able to shoot indoors and we don't have to cancel for inclement weather.  It's a blessing.  I do wish this incessant rain would stop and let things dry up a bit.  The ground is saturated, and I've only mowed once since the beginning of the mowing season.  And, I haven't been in the ditches yet.

Is this climate change?  No.  I remember other wet spring-times.  It's simply weather.
