"Gene, we had much of the same rain down here--it's sure been nice these 
last
couple of days to see some sunshine.  Bet Bandy enjoys it also."


    Yes, Bandy is enjoying the weather. He has been helping me clear the 
bean straw off the airstrip. Also hunting mice in the woods. We caught one 
in front of the shop when we came to the house. Been a big job. I have a 3/4 
yard dump trailer I am pulling behind my JD lawnmower. So far I have hauled 
4 heaping loads and have at least 2 more. Been raking and scooping it into 
windrows them loading it with scoop shovel. Hauling it back into the woods 
on a brush pile. May make a good bonfire when it dries out.
