The rice fields here in California are saturated again after these rains in the first week of April. The tractors and equipment used for planting are all ready to go. Now we're just waiting for the ground and weather to cooperate. As month started the rice fields looked just about dry.

Because of the rains we are unable to do any work. Luckily the week before we were extremely productive by burning levees to help rid them of dead weeds. These weeds can harbor pests. The weeds also don't allow our ridger to work properly. The ridger is a piece of equipment that helps build back up the levees after they've been washed away over the winter.

Clara and I also visited San Francisco over the weekend and biked across the Golden Gate Bridge. We started at Fisherman's Wharf and continued across the famous bridge and into the bay-town Salsalito. It was a beautiful weekend and a great thing to do when visiting San Francisco.
