It rained Tuesday night. It rained on Wednesday. It rained more this morning, Thursday.  Why is it that we can’t get just a little rain? You know, one of those nice spring showers that softly waters the earth, and then STOPS for a while before it starts again?  Why is it that our rain here seems to always come in the form of a torrential downpour!?

I slogged out to the newly planted fields yesterday. Although there was some standing water, they didn’t look too bad.  It seemed the plowed earth had done a better job than the unplowed earth of absorbing the water.

The water isn't standing so badly beyond the fence where the land has been plowed

For a while, a north wind blew, swaying the limbs of the Weeping Willow tree in the front yard.

Despite all the mud, and my worries about my seed, it is good to see the pond fill up.
