In Spite of the Weather the Work Still Goes On

The last field of alfalfa has been cut, and we are waiting for it to dry.  You can see the showers playing around in Olathe in this photo.

(Come on sun, come on out and play!)

We are still irrigating.  We will never NOT be irrigating, right up until harvest.

A little sun is peaking through!

Here is what the beans look like right now.  I forgot to get a photo of the corn, but it is about calf high.

The new seeding of oats and alfalfa is looking good, but needs irrigating.  You can see the big cracks in the ground.  The water will rotate to this spot next.

Every thing looks lush and wonderful because of the showers, sprinkles and downpours.

I shouldn’t complain—it is just hard to get the alfalfa to dry.  Otherwise, I guess I just miss the sun.

  1. We keep saying that it is so green and lush, it just doesn’t feel like Colorado. We were born and bread to have sun…not gloom so I think that is what is affecting us.

  3. Oh, I hope you get your sun shinning on you soon Linda! I have to say it looks beautiful there now though. I really like that first photo. Is it cold when it is raining? or is it warm now all the time? I have lived here so long now I forget how it is anywhere outside of the south!!

  6. Such pretty pictures! We have had rain here too, and gloom. I am about sick of it too, but at least I don’t have any alfalfa drying. 🙂 Hope the sun comes out soon for both of us!
