It wasn’t that long ago that I was complaining about how much rain we were getting, and that it needed to stop to get our crops in. Well, it did eventually stop and this past week it got really warm and windy. Those two weather combinations only lead up to making it really dry out in the fields. Most of our crops are up, but there are a couple of spots that needed some moisture to help them push out of the dirt the remaining of the way. So now you guessed it. We’re looking for rain. Our priest started to add it to our prayers in church this morning and with a chance of storms coming through our area today – we knew (well we hoped!) that we had a good chance to get some rain.
There is one thing that is for sure , if you are married to a farmer you’re going to spend a LOT of time talking about the weather. I laughed to myself tonight because we went to a couple of different Graduation Parties this weekend and of course the first thing that you say is ‘Hello’ and ‘How are you doing’ then you roll right into the conversation ‘Did you get rain today’. And of course in those conversations it usually goes something like this ‘so and so over on the 80 acres on the Waucoma black top got rain, but the neighbor… didn’t get any’ But guess what? As I’m sitting in the scrapbook room writing this post I can hear it starting to rain and that’s such a good thing. So for tomorrow’s conversations, well I’m sure that it’ll be something along the line on just how much rain everyone got 🙂
