May 2004

When I got up Monday morning, I found that it had snowed again, and a herd of about 20 elk were grazing where the deer had been the afternoon before. Actually, there were likely more than 20, as I could make out a number up in the trees and suspect there were more I could not see.

The snow and rain has been welcomed by the local farmers, since the area has had below average precipitation for the past 6 years. Unfortunately, the wet weather makes it too dangerous to proceed with excavation at the Main House site, so the date for putting in a foundation is being delayed.
