The clouds have finally broken this evening. We’ve almost had a full week of clouds and occasional rain. I began to forget what it was like for the sun to shine. The rain has been nice though. Unfortunately our neighbors in southeastern Minnesota have not had such an enjoyable experience with the rain. They have gotten over 17 inches throughout last weekend! 17 INCHES! I can’t even imagine what that looks like. We’ve heard of a farmer that has 4 ft of mud in their basement! It’s unthinkable.
By the way, I have a new favorite book. It’s a seed catalog! I love looking through it and imagining what I would plant on my farm. Of course every crop is a bumper crop and weeds are nowhere to be seen. What can I say; I’m a dreamer.
