The motto around here lately should be "don't make plans". I had "planned" to go to work today, but those plans got changed. M and J got to bed after 1:00 am last night and were up at 4:30 am to head back to the field since rain was in the forecast again. They were going to be moving again and requested that I stay home if I could to help if it looked like the rain was going to hold off.
I did stay home from work and was out of the house about 7:00 am to pick up C to go to the sprayer and R to get one of the fertilizer trucks. Then I took a brisk walk (45 degrees plus wind) to move a second fertilizer truck after helping M fill his drill. The hours until lunch consisted of moving trucks across muddy trails. THe fields were only marginally dry enough to be seeding. After lunch, R and I went to get loads of fertilizer and then went to try to pull out the truck that's been stuck since last week to no avail. That was my last assignment for the day, and I was home by about 5:00. Rain was falling in various areas, but didn't really set in until about 6:00 pm, so the guys did get a pretty good day in after all.
It's raining pretty hard now and the wind is howling and M is sound asleep on the couch. Maybe I'll make it to work tomorrow.
As I keep telling your "Rain is a Good Thing". Wish I could be there to help. Love you!
