Well, the weather didn't actually break until this morning. Thursday I woke up to one of the thickest fogs I have ever seen. It was foggy where we were packing our harvest boxes which is under a roof! On the up side I've gotten to experience harvesting in wet weather. The down side is that my room smells of mildew because of my wet work pants hanging and trying to dry. blech!
Although soggy, mildewy pants are not fun I really have nothing to complain about. We've been hearing more and more stories of farms in the south east part of Minnesota where they have had over 17 inches of rain within a weekend! There's a vegetable farm that has lost 80% of their crop, another has 30 acres under water. We've heard stories of dead animals floating around, trucks floating off never to be found, tractors and other equipment submerged. It's awful. How do you recover from something like this? Can you? What devastation. My heart breaks to hear these things. God be with them.
