--000000000000dff99e06578517e9 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="UTF-8" After about 6" of rain, cloudy skies with no sun, and high temps reaching barely to a comfortable 75 degrees, from Thursday through Saturday, the sun was out this morning in Wake County. I mostly drove Mid-Pines Road a few times, at about 1-3 mph, scanning the scattered flowers not yet mowed down on the roadsides. I added a few more things elsewhere, but this morning was an easy one not wanting to get my feet wet in the grass. And, Mid-Pines was not dusty, for once!
