April Showers Bring May Powers
Here in the Pacific Northwest, it’s horrible. Don’t come here.
Seriously, though, we often muse that as more people burn out of the southwest and California, and flood out of Florida, they will want to move here and we already feel overcrowded and overdeveloped all over the west coast.
Homeless, anyone?
Where my family lives, we had three days of hail, and even snow for the first three days of April. Then some more “seasonal” weather. Then some more gusting, hailing, stormy, seemingly bird-nest-hating angry skies.
Birds, animals, and even plants seem confused.
Now it is May. It’s been beautiful, but too hot and dried out for some of us farmers for a couple of days there. Another heat dome, ( like 2021) would wipe out a lot of growing things, and beings who eat them.
Today, it’s raining again.
Our best power is in experimenting and cooperating with whatever is happening…
