Had to get the rest of the crops planted this weekend – Started out pretty good, until Monday morning – when Marilyn and I decided to get up early and plant the rest of the tomatoes and melons.
Well, it started out pretty good. We got into the garden area and started hoeing and shoveling – by 7:30, we were getting along pretty good and then… the rain started. We kept working - thinking “it’s gonna let up pretty soon – seems to be getting lighter all the time”. Then, it started raining harder – and harder – we headed out the gate and down the hill toward the house. By now it was pouring hard and we were pretty much soaked.
I stopped and put the 3 pups into a large kennel on the porch and had Jessie get in her kennel.
We had breakfast and some much-needed hot coffee then we headed out to feed the animals and milk the goats.
After that, we came in for a break, then headed out to finish the planting. it had stopped raining, so the boys and I hoed and shoveled out new rows for tomatoes.
Nathan and I had to stop and scrape off the mud from the bottom of our shoes.
That Kentucky clay makes walking heavy work!
