Rainy days are Monday

With apologies to the Carpenters.  But so was Saturday, and so will be Tues., Wed., Thurs., etc.  Farmers in this area are about to get seriously behind in fieldwork, with repercussions that will be felt throughout the coming season.  Each planting date missed will cause shortages of various crops down the line.  This will start the predictable chorus from receivers that local is not reliable.  Perhaps, but when the alternative is $10.00/box freight from California, an occasional shortage of local produce is probably something we all can deal with.
