Hi Don,

And don't I know it. My Madonna statue which was sitting firmly on my newly constructed garden berm fell flat on her face in mud. During the last rainstorm I awoke at 3am, the deluge was on with torrents of rain, 4am, still going, 5am still at it...ah 6am down to a normal regular rain and it rained steady all day long. By noon there was over 2 inches of rain.

But now its marvelously warm. My ice cream Tuesday with the neighbors tonight was fantastic. I truly enjoyed the two scooper scale, ($1.00 a scoop B & R) in the warm balmy early evening. Umm mint chocolate chip with regular chocolate chip.

I hope it stays dry from now on.

Petra
