Cold and Wet

Going into the weekend, it felt like spring had finally arrived and we would soon be in the fields. But by Saturday afternoon it was already cloudy and sprinkling. Ominous. It rained Sunday, it rained Monday, and it rained today. We were still wet before the rain, and now we are once again over saturated. We've missed our April 15 target planting start date. We've missed our April 20 ideal start date. And there isn't much hope of getting in the field at all this week. Even if conditions would be favorable by Saturday, there is this wedding thing going on this weekend that creates a conflict of interest! Maybe I can at least get some sweet corn planted in the garden.
We went shopping last night for reception supplies. If anyone gets ill, the Doctor will be on hand. Thirteen cases worth.

For he saith to the snow, Be thou on the earth; likewise to the small rain, and to the great rain of his strength.
