A different day!

         "What is so rare as a day in June?"  James Russell Lowell. In my farming experience I'd ask "What is so rare as a day of fieldwork without problems."?  Much of the issue is that my equipment, like me, is antique. Yesterday was one of those rare days when everything worked perfectly when I disced both fields in preparation for planting. . It is fun when it happens.

        Today was not like yesterday. There was a flat tire on the planter as I was planting the east cornfield. The field is planted and the tire is back on the planter with a new inner-tube. How old is the planter? Forty years? maybe 50. Who knows? 

Takk for alt,

                      I'm over the hill but am I picking up speed?
