The drought ended while we were in Wisconsin for Christmas.

We had around an inch of rain between the first of October and December. When we got back from Wisconsin, there was mud everywhere. There was about 3 inches of rain in three weeks. That’s OK; we needed the water.

It’s going to be an interesting year for us, as we’re still trying to figure out which way we’re heading.
