    We are about 3 inches above normal for rain, it's rained at least two day or more every week. The mosquito will be bad at some point.

    We've had the wettest May on record. Lots of flooding and up to 5" forecasted for Memorial Day weekend.

    And up here, it is dry, dry, dry. The past few years we've had bumper crops of skeeters. Not many at all this year....so far.

    Hope the flooding can be controlled & the reservoirs filled.
    Amazing the weather pattern can change so much from one year to the next.

    Stay safe & keep your wood dry !

    Most of the holiday lake campers have had to leave all the local lakes. Almost all the camping spots are now under water, picnic tables peaking out of the water on the local news.

    We woke up to another thunder storm, I'll need to open the drain valve on the pool for a bit.

    The AR River is twice the "small craft advisory". Local authorities are on the news begging people to stay off it, too many emergency responses.

    Probably the driest May we have had as well. Lots of misty overcast in the morning though.
