Rain

It's finally stopped raining -- the last few days have been lovely spring weather.  The birds are singing, the buds are appearing and, no doubt, the bugs are emerging.

In March 2010, we experienced over 15 inches of rain!  Last years total (Bedford) was 44.0".  2008's total was 56.1".  2007: 37.4".  2006: 49.5"  You get the idea.  In just one month we received about a third of our normal annual total.  [I note that the Bedford station reported only 13.6" in March: Carlisle was either wetter or less accurate.  The result of all this rain is that the Concord River is now the Concord Lake and flooding is everywhere.  As usual, we have a dry basement :)

Meanwhile, we have a cute little Chihuahua (a real one this time) whose official name is Madison.  But we're calling her Pixie.  She's got some health issues (primarily, a tooth problem which is going to be taken care of on Tuesday).  But she's a sweet little girl (pictures to follow).
