Forecast predicts we'll get 3 3/4" of rain over two events in the next 10 days. That would put us at least 3" over our average. If so, that would be great! But as BRENDA says: We shall see.

My aunt seemed in good spirits this morning even though she had another rough night. I think the fact that she's not in this alone is really helping her mental state about it. My old man is there with her now and the nurse and aide should be arriving soon.
My aunt still thinks I won't last the night over there, but I think she's just projecting what she would do if she wasn't in a position with responsibility. I've no intention of fleeing.
They destroyed her beautiful dining room table by cutting off the legs to get it out of the house to fit the hospice bed and all the other do-dads. TBH, the 7 cats that lived there had really already done that to the legs of the table and all the chairs already, but their loss is my gain. I've emptied out my car and I'm going to be breaking down that wood and having a few fantastic pieces for projects back home. There's already a dresser out there I never got around to scrapping too, so I'll load up whatever I can in my car and get more the next time I go over.
My aunt says she doesn't want to move downstairs now and has no energy for it. I'll see if I can talk her into it when I get over there. It doesn't make any sense for her not to be downstairs when she's already got the mattress down there every night.
Be well, everybody. I'll give an update when I can.
Good luck with the publisher, Brenda.

Growing up in a Republic was nice... Shame we couldn't keep it.
Be well SIX and enjoy this time with your grandmother.
Thanks but that is still a ways off. Publishing I mean.

Got back after 5pm and practically got blown away. Got a wind storm of sorts blowing through BC, bringing snow in the Interior. The ski hills were way happy this long weekend and a bit of rain down around my area. Though there is a possibly chance of snow around me on Wednesday. Just have to see.
Tired, tired, tired and probably a little sore tomorrow. Moving heavy pots around.

Out for my walk soon. Couple of things to do. Nice and sunny right now after being blowy on my walk back yesterday late afternoon.

Hey BRENDA, I hope you're not too achy from your workday yesterday. Sounds like you're able to stick to your regular activities so maybe you're ok?
*****
Been super busy- for me anyway. That means being consistently active, altho at my work pace I obviously don't accomplish as much as SUX. Still, I managed to get three bins of wardesste out last week, and three bins this week, and have been busy contacting contractors and gardeners and pursuing various medical and dental appointments for myself and the family.
Well, off to being busy, again!

Rain prediction is getting more and more robust. For the most part, our snowpack surpasses the biggest snowpack on record ('82-83) except for northern CA, where it fall slightly below, having had no new accumulation for the past month.
https://cdec.water.ca.gov/snowapp/swcchart.action
If this storm grazes northern and central CA, and dumps on southern CA (as predicted), this will be a banner water-year.
Fingers crossed.
FWIW Canada maintains a drought monitor map too. The Vancouver area shows up as moderate drought.

We'll have to see what happens for my area this Spring and summer. Today is dry but there is a slight call for snow tomorrow because of the cold then I think back to rain. Just have to see.
