It's Raining, It's Pouring...

It's been over two weeks of rain, breaks a day or two, some hours or more here and there. The land is saturated and the rock in the middle of the pond, where the male Mallard likes to rest, has been submerged for well over a week. A Bhutanese student of mine asked if summer was the rainy season. Not normally, I replied, but these are not normal times. The temps have also been below normal. The tomatoes are struggling, but the other plants are doing well, so far.
Last week, three days in a row, a young bear came to feast on the acorns in the frontyard.
