Lots of rainn causing some rivers to flood and block off some of the low lying roads, but nothing to cause me any problems. 65, right now and will be heading to meet my shooting bud at the range shortly.

If you are talking about the flooding in Grand Rapids, I'm just fine that's about an hour north of me,. The bad part about super heavy spring rain here is the ground is still frozen about two to three feet down yet so the water has no where to go.

Here in God's country, northern parts of Detroit area, spring is unfolding very slowly, as the temps are cool, lots of cloudiness, and lots of rain. Some snowbird neighbors came back home from florida wishing they had stayed down there another month. My hope is that we will have a full crop this year, as cherries, apples, peaches, plums, etc were destroyed last year because of a late killing frost after the unseasonable warm weather caused the blossoms to bloom early. The 'cherry festival' was decimated last year and they had to import cherries from out of state to put on the National Cherry Festival. Summer, with it's warm weather, will be here soon enough. I'm dusting off the cobwebs from my AR-15 to shoot in the service rifle league. I shoot in this league to make the rest of the group feel better, knowing that they can at least beat someone.

someone has to be last?

My sgt has a couple acres of peaches and last summer he didn't have a single one survive, he says its much better so far this year.

The last two days have pretty much been t-shirt weather here right around the mid sixties.
