Back again.

May 3, Vandalia.

I picked up the kids after school and we headed down I-70 to the circus one last time before summer. 
The endless heavy rains of winter storm Achiles make for a trying trip.  They were calling for snow this morning but we dodged it and got more rain.  I managed to plant all my trees before it started coming down yesterday but not quite; the two apple trees (Fuji, Granny Smith) and the one peach tree (something big and juicy) I had ordered from a nursery in Louisiana, Missouri, arrived just as it was beginning to drizzle, so I ended up covered in mud.
And back for more.
