Will be a few days at least still...

My cousin is a volunteer firefighter and spent a good part of the weekend battling brush fires in Burlington.

I was just thinking today how dry things are. Just turned on the irrigation system today and its running as I type this.

Pretty typical for April... no vegetation yet so any lack of rain dries things up fast.

Also means Pollen counts will be through the roof.

Damn non-winter season.
