Changes

It is looking more and more like the spring that wasn't.  Although Thursday was a beautiful day, it rained during the night, nullifying whatever drying effect occurred.  The weekend promises cloudy cooler weather and next week's forecast is for off and on showers.  Usually we get a teaser of several weeks of dry weather in early spring, followed by excessively wet conditions.  This year is looking wet from the start.  I have room for a couple more weeks planting on well drained soil, but some areas will need a great deal of warm sunny weather before any soil preparation will be possible.   If I had to guess, I would say we will probably have a drier than normal summer and everyone in the agricultural field will be looking for rain by the first of July.
