Budding Roses

Took this picture last week before the BIG rains came. Its making up for August being the driest month on record in 30 years. We need this rain to fill up the reservoir so our electric company doesn't have to turn on the diesel generators that will raise our bills by a third. We don't need the rain to raise the Lowe River which as of early this afternoon is a foot from cresting over the Richardson Hwy at 4 mile. No reports from Keystone Canyon which last year flooded into a raging river.

A good weekend to stay put and cook up a big ol' bone-in ham butt, sweet potatoes, beans and cole slaw. Roxy enjoyed the bone!
