A week...

      It's been a week since the rain came and field work stopped. There has been little drying since. Each time there has been a bit of drying more rain, though very light, has come to keep fields wet. Today there was some drying and rain is predicted tonight. Ah, the patience needed by farmers.

    While it can be a bit boring for me the wait doesn't really matter for wildlife food plots. The critters do the harvest so nothing needs to be dry for storage. Perhaps the earlier I plant the greater the seed production but that's not a major issue.

    The frogs in the pond across the street are very noisy until the temperature drops at night. Then they go silent until it warms up and they resume their singing. Where were they last summer when the pond went dry? Underground?

Takk for alt,
