Rain rain go away come again in a couple months

I can't imagine what I would pay for just one good soaker, like we are getting now, about the end of July! Really makes you frustrated knowing how much spring work is ahead that has to be put off 'til later. There is not much relief when you look at the forecasts either.

Oh well, guess I'll go tune up/change oil in the tiller so it is ready for the mad rush. May even fire up the wood stove as it's dang chilly out to go along with the damp.

By the way have you peeked at the spuds lately to see if they are growing or rotting? We don't have any garden in up here,(bout 70 miles N.E. of St.Louis) thanks to mother nature.

The odd thing is that a lot of the heavy rain is getting dumped off before it gets up this way now, was not the case in those wet years, now the same thing seems to be happening south and west in your area, up to Michigan.

Maybe it's me, but seems like there has been some sort of a pattern, hopefully it will change, GA. certainly needed some good rains like this, wonder if those areas have gotten some relief from it.

I agree with you about it being too wet to get much done, especialy today when even the dry ditches are running deep. Ah, just think back to last July, August, and September with all that nice 100+ degree temps, everything dried up, had to worry about setting the fields on fire.

Just teasing, I"m about 20 miles west of you with cabin fever today. I need to get onto my land too, but not until it dries some.
