Terry and I spent time working in a most terrible wind (60 m.p.h. gusts)
We had to get the siphon tubes out and the ditches, sorta kinda cleaned because it was time to start the water.
Hair flung so high I look like I could take off
Then the storm arrived so the next morning we moved water (running water) with ice on it.
Baby, it’s cold!
BRRR!

Getting ready for the water is hard enough without the wind and cold. I hope the weather improves soon.

The yearly struggle between winter and spring ~ this year seems to be extra windy! Can’t believe you guys were out in all that dust – uck! I have grass seed to spread, but not in this stuff…
I am hoping spring wins out real soon! Don’t blow away!

Watched a program about the Colorado river and irrigation the other night and thought of you…I had to explain about your irrigation and how it works and that the water has a memory:)

This can be an exhausting time of the year. We have had a lot of wind, then a storm that left us less than 1/2″ of rain. Temps are up a little once again and the wind has calmed today. Take care!
