Top Ten

. . . . . wettest years on record. Yup, 2009 made it into the top ten. Normal year-to-date rainfall for central Illinois is 30.3 inches. Ytd for 2009 is 45.1 inches. And it's raining as we blog.

We combined corn last night for a few hours to put some in our bin and get the dryers running. We are still driving to the elevator with empty trucks and hauling corn home to feed the hogs. Today we got three loads picked as we spent a lot of time opening up a couple of fields. The corn is wet, the ground is muddy, and the sky is leaking. By 2:30, it was just too nasty to keep going, so we left our marks on the road and put some very dirty machinery back in the shed for another day.

I guess I'll have to start another book.

And he took the book of the covenant, and read in the audience of all the people: and they said, all that the LORD has said, that will we do, and be obedient.
Exodus 24:7
