Today was one of those rare, all-day rainy days.  We hadn't had rain in quite a while though, so it was good.  Most of the day was a light, steady rain which should be good for the grass seed we put down.  The rain is also ushering in a little cooler weather - definitely helpful for roof work!  Also, it should wash out all of the yellow pollen that we've had the last couple days.  We noticed this phenomena the last few years - for a couple of days in the spring, everything is coated with a bright yellow pollen.  This year, there was an article about it in the paper - it's pine pollen from all of the white pine trees.  Interesting!

Jim still made good use of the day - he worked inside on wiring up more circuits in the woodworking shop.
