Weather or not….

To most of the US this spring moisture has fallen. It’s fallen heavily in most places, but not in northern Wisconsin. This is the 7th year in a row where Mother Nature decided to turn her attention elsewhere.

I’ve mentioned this before and will probably again for we do have a problem with the rain/snow fall and the drop in the water table. Some people wanted to point fingers at the fat cat central state farmers who now have hundreds of wells driven into the state aquifers sucking out tons of clear clean water. Many think that this along with the lack of rainfall has lead to the drop in the state’s water table and lake levels as well.

What’s The Birch Bake Tales spin on this you ask? All I’ve got to say is that if I have to pay for one more messed up boat prop I’ll have to take out a second mortgage on our place. Yes, the lake has dropped, yes there are rocks where there use to be three feet of water, yes we now have a huge sand beach in front of the place but…. Please, send some of your rain our way, and turn off your sprinkler…And thank you.
