Wet

Well, summer is here with its heat and humidity. And lots of thunderstorms. It's been raining about every third day. There has been tornado sightings and hail in the area, but so far these have missed us. When its not raining the Illinois humidity kicks in and you get wet from sweat. The air conditioner is working full time. The corn is starting to really grow, but its been to wet to sidedress nitrogen. We are hoping the fields dry up soon before the corn gets too tall to get thru it.
We played carpenter a couple days this week at the new ACCFS building in Morton. The first day we were rained out after an hour, but we got in a full day the next day. I didn't put on sunscreen, so I now have red arms. A good start on my farmer tan.

Behold, the Lord hath a mighty and strong one, which as a tempest of hail and a destroying storm, as a flood of mighty waters overflowing, shall cast down to the earth with the hand.
Isaiah 28:2
