The guys were not fortunate enough last night to miss the rain. I was looking at the radar and thought if they could miss one shower maybe they could go late in the night and feel like they got something done. No luck, however. The rain hit, and they tried to get the trucks out and made it about 50 feet. Luckily, they had a 4WD pickup so they could get home.
J was out first thing this morning and we set out to try to get the trucks out. We had to follow a trail through two pastures and then through fields that had just been planted. It wasn't raining at that time. We took one to the first gate while J got another one started (required jumper cables) and left it on the grass and went back to get the third one. As we headed back it started to rain lightly. J headed to the quonset and M left his truck at the main road, and we went back to get the third before it got too wet and muddy. It was raining harder by that time, but we got the trucks back to shelter without incident other than me going sideways a couple of times with the pickup. I was glad no one saw me!
This afternoon I planted flowers in the rain. They came in the mail yesterday so I didn't want to let them sit any longer than necessary. It wasn't raining when I went out to do it, but the rain started as I was planting so I was a bit wet by the time I was done. Of course, the rain stopped and there was actually some sunshine right after I came in.
Looks like we'll spend the evening watching NASCAR and going to a graduation party for our neighbor's son instead of burning the midnight oil in the field.
