It is still raining here. I’m still not complaining, just stating a fact. The weatherman says it will be in here until Sunday and then turn off hot.
Even though it is raining irrigation goes on. The water is set morning and evening. Although we have rain the rain has only soaked into — maybe 1/2 inch of soil —so we continue irrigation. I know it seems illogical but that is how it works. Seeds are planted 2-21/2 inches into the soil, they must be wet to sprout and then after that they must have water to the roots, which are even deeper than where the seed started.
So the irrigation continues rain or shine. The ditch banks are sure slick, I fell twice jumping over the cement ditch with a load of siphon tubes, nothing hurt but wet clothes and more mud. 🙂
Fuzzy was really funny when we went to get gas for the 530…we had a tire in the back we needed to take to dump which he delighted in sitting in.
Silly, cute dogie.
Today I am off for a treat! I am going with my oldest granddaughter on a second grade field trip to Pioneer Town in Cedaredge, Colorado. We will ride the bus together, tour the town together, then we eat lunch at the park and ride back to the school in Delta. Then I will get to take her out and we can have the rest of the afternoon together.
Rather cool, don’t you think?
Hope your Thursday is just as fun!

Makes perfect sense to irrigate when it’s raining. The water soaks in better.
It sounds like a wonderful day. I hope you get lots of photos. Time with little people can be so enlightening too.
Fuzzy is really a hoot.

If Fuzzy is feeling unsteady on his feet, the tire was probably his best way to not be sliding around the back of the truck. Just a thought…. The field trip will be great fun and glad you are getting rain.

I’m still trying to get my head around your soil.Clay is soil is gumbo. It gets terribly muddy! Now the dogs don’t even have very muddy feet …just a little dirty.
Field trips with little kids is always a blast.

What a special outing with your granddaughter!! Making memories for sure! So glad you are getting rain, even if it makes for muddy irrigating.
Fuzzy is just too cute…I think it probably does give him something to brace against.
Blessings!

Can’t wait to hear about your Adventure from yesterday…I was stuck inside the house with 2 preschoolers, while it stormed outside.
