Still out picking rock

It’s July 8th and some people we heard are still planting corn. Can you believe it? Well, Daryl was able to get all our crops in, but we are still picking rock. We got around 6/10 of rain during the night, and with the temperature in the 90’s, it’s been a welcome relief for the crops. So tonight we thought we’d try to get some more rock picked up in the bean field. I think with all the crazy weather that we had this spring, it really brought all the rocks to the service. Well, anyway it sure seems like that.  Our mission tonight was ‘to only pick up the ones that will give us trouble’ – that’s what Daryl said. After throwing in some lasagna for supper into the oven, off we went. The lasagna would take an hour to bake.The temperature during the day was in the 90’s and it sure didn’t seem to have cooled down much tonight. But we were only going to pick for an hour and it really needed to get done. We didn’t have any trouble finding rock and man we were sweating. We were sweating so bad that when you bent down to pick up the rock, sweat was just running off your face and dripping on the rocks. Yea, not really a good look, but it was just us out in the field so I guess it’s not so bad. Finally our hour was up and we didn’t want to add any more rocks to the trailer because it was getting pretty heavy by now, so we headed home. Now you know when you’re really dirty when you have to wash yourself off at the water hydrant BEFORE you take a shower 🙂 . Our lasagna was done and I made apple dumplings for dessert. We were all tired when it was time to go to bed and if we can get out in the field just a couple more times this coming week, we should get the majority of all those rocks picked up. Well, at least the trouble makers!
