Rainy Day.

      Yesterday there were a couple of passing showers, more like sprinkles. Today there was light, misty rain for a few hours this morning. It wasn't enough to accumulate but enough to stop soybean harvest temporarily. Beans absorb moisture very quickly so a little rain puts a halt to harvesting.  It can be challenging for farmers emotionally when wet weather lingers and prevents gathering in the crop. Likely this is just a very temporary delay with good harvesting weather in the forecast.

     Actually, I rather like rainy days, perhaps becasue they are so rare. Especially this year rain is welcome. Yet, this rainy morning reminded me of the song lyrics below.  

"Talkin' to myself and feelin' old

Sometimes I'd like to quit
Nothin' ever seems to fit
Hangin' around
Nothin' to do but frown
Rainy days and Mondays always get me down."    The Carpenters
