Even though the weather was kind of gloomy today, we welcome any rain that comes with it. Our part of Iowa is still in a Severe to Extreme Drought situation. So like I said, if it’s going to be rainy, we sure will take it. I think we’re supposed to have one more day of this weather and then it should be sunny again. Daryl has been working in the fields in between the rain, he’s trying to get the corn stalks chopped to make round bales. He had to switch tractors the other day in the field and is anxious to get the stalks all chopped. He said he’s going to plow the fields once the round bales are done. It used to be everyone plowed in the fall, but now you are more careful with erosion and only plow when you need to.
I sure don’t feel like I’m getting much done around the house or farm lately. It seems like I just can’t get into a grove with working at my new job. You would have thought that after a month I could have figured out some type of rhythm wouldn’t you? Oh well, there’s always next week. But I did get some baking done tonight. I made a vegetable pizza and also some caramel brownies. The house smells really good tonight.
