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.
