Yesterday was ever so delightful!  I hope yours was also.

Today we woke up to wind, which means it will blow all day and possibly blow in a storm.  More than likely it will blow in a cold front, but that is okay, we are still doing ground work, nothing is planted yet, and no water.

ALTHOUGH!!!!!

The Uncompahgre Valley Water Users higher ups have decided that they WILL start the irrigation water today!

No April Fool’s either!

It will get to us by Friday or next Monday at the latest.

50% of normal.  I would NOT want to be a ditch rider this year you can bet we are going to hear of water fights and uncivilized behavior when it comes to the water for the farms.  All ready the subdivision people are complaining that they won’t have water (they do, they can use city water).

As I understand it, If we were over on the eastern slope around Sterling and Pueblo it wouldn’t be the subdivision people complaining, it would be the farmers also.  The cities have all rights to the water FIRST.

But I’m not going there.  The whole ‘water thing’ is just so emotional and frightening that I can’t really get my mind around it.

Terry and I will do what we have to do and be grateful that we have what we have.  One never really knows what the rest of the growing season will bring, it could be normal.

Have a nice Monday everyone…we are off to lay pipe!
