this spring is very backward and very wet.  Just wet enough to keep us from getting in our grain and grass sowed the pastures are pretty good  we don't suffer from floods here as they do in central and Southern Calafornia it rains more and oftener but not such down pours then there is not so much snow in the coast as in the Sieras Mts, then our Rivers are Mountain torrents with a very swift current until they reach the Ocean.  Eel River is a monster when it has its back up.  I have not got any grain or grass sown yet it has cleared away this evening and looks as if it might stay fair.  I only have seven acres to seed don't that sound big, well I believe this tuppany farming will dwarf any man don't you?
