A low pressure system moved in overnight so the morning was cool and cloudy. John and I walked to the highway and back and just reached home when it started to rain. Today's all day rain will certainly help put an end to the high fire danger. Northern Minnesota has been very dry this spring.

With the steady rains, nothing could be done outside today, so John went down to the shop to make some more parts. Joanne came to do some packing and brought Julie with her. John had a chance to visit with Jules for a while and to try and get some hugs.

Since I was also house bound, I decided to continue on with cleaning out and re-organizing drawers and the storage closet. Sara is going to have a rummage sale sometime this spring, so I thought this would be a good time to start getting things ready.

Following supper, we watched Survivor and a couple other Thursday night favorites. Just in case you all are wondering, the new mattress was very comfortable--no more air leaks that need to be pumped up during the night. Also, thanks to the Fort Clark friends who called to wish John a happy birthday! We plan to celebrate this weekend--hopefully the weather will be better.
