It's been an extremely dry and windy spring in Kansas. But this morning it was cool and calm outside. Ben took advantage and burned a bunch of small piles of brush I'd raked up weeks ago.
It was a beautiful morning! I stood by the fires to keep warm and soak up the sunshine. :-)
That dry weather I mentioned? Yep, not good for the wheat.
It's supposed to be thick, tall and lush at this point - ideally receiving an inch of rain every week. Ha! An inch of rain....that hasn't happened, and those days of 100 degree heat we had this past week didn't help. We'll see what happens between now and harvest...but it looks like a very lackluster harvest is ahead of us.
Oh Harold. Always ready for an adventure...rarely do we actually meet your expectations.
This was our last Friday before the boys are out of school for the summer. We won't have such a quiet Friday morning to ourselves for the next three months. I write that with equal amounts of joy and sorrow.
