FLOOD WATCH
Our newly cut drainage ditches are going to get a run for their money this weekend. 2-3" of rain is expected to fall this evening through Sunday night, hence the flood watch being posted for us. The cloudy and unseasonably cool temps (41 degrees this morning) will hang around through mid week, with an omnipresent chance for rain each day.
All of this moisture has made for a lush appearance on our mountain, with wildflowers out in force. And my hummingbirds returned a week ago, about 2 weeks later than I had noted them arriving last year. I have always referred to the first flower as a white Wake-robin (Trilium erectum) but I just read where another name for it is "Stinking Benjamin" (among many others, of course).
