Nothing But Rain

We’re still in the midst of rain.  That’s good for pasture and cropland and lakes and ponds and such, but we’re actually seeing some places flood with it coming all at once.  Luckily, I’m not in one of those places.  The only flooding here is the barnyard.

All that rain makes it hard to take the camera outside and find wonderful pictures for the blog.

So I’m thinking back to last Saturday when we had a pretty nice day!  The skies were blue with puffy white clouds.  The maple tree was enjoying the sunshine.

Instead of being closed tightly with lack of sunshine and pouring cold rain, the crocus were blooming.

The bovine are not getting hay now, so they are out wandering around the edges of the field and in the waterways and the old homestead yard to eat the grass.

If I had known we were going to have no days without rain, I’d have made sure to get more of the fence in there last weekend.  The rain is supposed to end tonight which will give us a break to let all this water soak in, and then there are more chances for rain the beginning of the week.  I’d better take lots of pictures this weekend.

A Reminder to Myself

We’ve been getting much needed rain to help relieve the severe drought conditions.

We’re expecting another inch or more tomorrow.

The geese really enjoy the rain and its effects!

This rain is a good thing because it will help my pasture finish turning green and grow.

Then I’ll be able to let the goats out in the pasture.

It is sinking quickly into the ground where my crops will be planted.

Rain is a good thing.  Really it is.

I’ve been hoping and praying for this rain, and now it’s here.  I’m so happy!

Shoes

This time of year seems to be the hardest for blogging.  I’m rushing to and from work and trying to get chores done before dark.  After that my motivation to do anything is gone.  I end up trying to do all my farm catch up and blog worthy stuff on the weekends.  That means I’m out in the barnyard doing a lot of things.  You can see it is still horribly dry and dusty.

I did get to just hang out with the goats for a bit this weekend.

Coral is always my good friend.  She’s so tiny!

Victoria likes to come see if I brought her any treats.

For some reason, my shoes seemed rather interesting to her.  This is why I always tie them in a double knot.

Hopefully, I find a minute or two to relax as well during my weekends.  By the time I got around to putting my feet up on Sunday, I think I had done enough stuff to have blog posts for the whole week!

Hope you had a relaxing weekend as well.
