Happy Tuesday,

With nothing but rain in the forecast, it looks like Lake Champlain will continue to rise from still-record levels. It’s pouring so hard here in Waitsfield that Owen won’t go outside, ponds are forming in the field and the river is again swollen to near flood stage. Vermont Public Radio’s website featured in an article yesterday that the National Weather Service predicts that this will be the wettest Spring on record.

It’s also fund drive time at Vermont Public Radio. We’re ardent supporters and underwriters of VPR, and so many of us value the excellent signal strength and unparalleled reporting; I know I do. We always supply something cool to give away during the fund drive, and this year a lucky listener won an iPad 2. I hope you’ll consider making a donation to this extremely important Vermont resource, or to your local station if you’re a reader from afar.

As always, thanks for reading, and keep in touch.
