MUD VOLLEYBALL ANYONE?

[capi75rs]

OK mothernature, you can turn off the sprinklers now. I'd love to get out to the garden but it looks like a great place to hold a mud volleyball game for now. Here at my place we've been getting 2 days of somewhat sun then 2-3 days of rain. Everytime it rains we get at least an inch as sometimes just over two inches. This has been going on for a few weeks now and is really getting old, FAST. I checked NOAA and guess what next week just before this latest round of water dries out were in for more rain. The farmers are getting a little anxious. Hows everyone else doing?

Thank god we do not have our potatoes in..... We are seeing flooded fields, and the lake is up about 2 feet. Its nice because its been down 2 feet for the past 10 years....

I opened this hoping to see pictures of womens mud volley ball

Talked to my folks in N. Illinois this morning, Mom's 85th today, and they were saying the same thing about the rain there. The farmers want into the fields to get corn going, looks like it will be a while though.

Same deal here in the middle of Missery. During the few days when it wasn't actually raining, I put in my tomatoes, finished the blocks around a new raised bed, and mowed most of the grass. During one downpour I saw that part of my garden was always going to collect rain water, and down hill from there the grapes I put in this year were having really wet feet. So I put the potato plow on the old Kubota and dug a couple of ditches to carry the water on down to the pond faster. Of course I also had to do some shovel work, so I was out there in a slow drizzle for about three hours. It kinda reminded me of playing in the river as a kid, building little dams and trying to get the water to go where I wanted...except I was up to my patootie in mud and I really wasn't having all that much fun. Tomorrow I'll be out there again, rain or shine, putting in the perforated drain pipe-in-a-sock, so I can fill those ditches, so I can get to the rest of the grass that needs mowing. If and when it ever gets dry enough to mow. I thought we were promised we'd never be flooded to extinction again!

Well lets go back about 12 months. At least here in Indiana, we had a dry enough spell that some farmers could get in the fields and plant. Then mother nature came and flooded everything. Even if the flood didn't damage any personal property almost all farmers who managed to plant early had to replant when things dried out. I'm just hoping we don't see anything close to last year. ya things will get started late.. Just means I get to eat tomatoes and sweet corn a little later in the season.

Oh and I too was looking forward to some photos of women playing volleyball in the mud.
