A mere 28 degrees at 7 AM this morning, but there was a bit of a breeze so it was warmer--by a degree or two--in the valley. It's supposed to reach the mid-50s this afternoon before dropping into the high 20s again tonight. Unless it gets a bit warmer during the night, it's not good weather to do the staining I have remaining on the deck rails and balusters no matter how dry it remains. And it won't be dry long. There's more rain heading our way Tuesday night and Wednesday morning. At least the pastures have got to be loving it. I swear you could watch the damn grass grow if you had the patience to stand still and concentrate on it for just half an hour. I know my onions are going nuts. They've shot up six inches in the past week.

The clear skies and light breeze allowed the helicopter to be flying about this morning shifting the sensors for the 3-D imaging they are doing for gas exploration. It's a bit odd to look down upon the helicopter as it picks up and moves bundles of sensors from sites below the Aerie; almost as weird as looking down on the backs of soaring hawks and vultures. Still, it's kind of exciting as well--in a voyeuristic sort of way. I wouldn't mind flying with the guy as he makes his rounds to get a bird's eye view of the surrounding area.
