No kidding -- I really want to get mine in sometime in the next few days but we've had SO much rain lately... it is what it is, I guess!! We live near a (rather smallish) river, which is as high as it ever is during the spring -- normally at this time of year you can pretty much "walk across without getting your feet wet," at least in some places. If we get anything like the snow we had last year I can't quite imagine what it will be like in the spring! Back in the early 80's Lake Michigan was so high that it was lapping at the doorsteps of the people with houses on that side of the highway; since then the water has been down so far you have to walk for quite a ways to get TO the lake... looks like maybe it is rebounding!

Fortunately, my garden soil does drain well, so I don't expect to have any major problem!
