I am happy that you have had some dry weather to work in when you are trying to get so much done so quickly. But it sure is scarry to see on TV how dry and windy the East is in April and how fires are starting to kick-up. Hopefully my endless Oregon rain will find its way to you for a few days and I can enjoy some actual sunshine.
