I am hoping that Mother Nature will be a bit kinder to farmers this next week.
However, a few things about farmers…
They complain when it’s too hot and we need rain.
They complain when there is too much rain and we need the sun and heat.
They complain when it’s too cold and then when it’s not cold enough to keep the ground frozen.
Remember that whole thing about being flexible when you farm? The weather is what it’s all about.
And to think someone actually mentioned the dreaded “s” word today…As in S-N-O-W.
Apparently, according to my father in law and brother in law they remember a time when corn was 2 inches tall and it snowed. I am hoping to never see this.
You pretty much nailed the ups and downs of living with a farmer and their thoughts on the weather.
About 10 or 15 years ago we had a thunder storm in Feb it snowed in June. The is an almanac saying.Well in Feb this year we had a thunder storm. I am on the look out for snow in June 2011 Just saying.
Isn’t that so true Heather! Even my husband got a kick out of that post! Ann…I am so not even breathing the “s” word around here until at least the end of November! 🙂
