The sky is cloudy and we are cold here today.  Terry is turning off the water until we warm up.  When he called the ditch rider to let him know the ditch rider said almost everyone, but the onion guys have turned off their water.  (This makes more work for the ditch rider — the canals get too full and then run over, that is why the farmers are suppose to call so the canals can be regulated.)

 We have one field of field corn planted, two more to go.  It’s good we only have the one, if the seed rots in that one, Terry will plant it to pinto beans.  It would be best if the seed doesn’t rot, but this cold wet weather is just so iffy.

The 80 mph wind we just had knocked down three huge limbs

The 80 mph wind we just had knocked down three huge limb.  We were very lucky it didn’t hit the house or the chicken house.

The lilac’s and the sweet cherries froze last night.  It was 29* when I got up this morning.  All I have left in my yard (fruit tree-wise) are the apples.  Guess we will see if another killing freeze will get those also.

I do believe I sound rather bummed, sorry.  I’ll try to perk these posting up from now on.
