A Start

Tuesday afternoon, the last day of April, we finally got out into the field to start planting.  We found a field at home where except for one small wet spot, conditions were good.  Yesterday we found another field that was in almost perfect condition for planting; it worked up nice and it was uniformly dry.  This morning we started planting our third field, but it was still a little damp in spots, and then we saw the rain clouds moving towards us, so we brought the machinery home and parked for the rest of the day.  If the forecast is correct, we are probably done for awhile.  At least we got a start, and we ask God's blessings on a new season.
Hopefully we won't get the snow that they are getting to the West and North.

The planter is working admirably, and the new "trial" Precision monitor and iPad are spewing out more information than I can follow and drive at the same time.

At 11:00 last night as I was lying in bed drifting off to sleep, I remembered that the pickup loaded with seed was still out in the field three miles away.  There was a chance of rain in the forecast.  I woke up my wife (she was a good sport), got her out of bed, and we slipped on clothes and ventured out and brought the truck home.  That shortened up the night.


And sow the fields, and plant vineyards, which may yield fruits of increase.
Psalm 107:7
