FARM REPORT:
We are happy to say that things are much improved here since our last report. The tomatoes and potatoes are green and growing back quickly. We have loads of ripening berries in the strawberry patch although in most clusters there are several dead flowers (see above). It seems like the freeze was a long time ago. This week our worries have moved on to the lack of rain. The irrigation pond is full and every row of crop is getting a line as it is planted. We have barely had any rain as the stormy weather surrounds us. The sky darkens but refuses to let loose over our heads.<\/p>\n
<\/a><\/div>\nThe last few days have felt like a real Midwestern summer – hot and sticky with no rain to clear the air. On days like today in the farm truck’s passenger seat rides a big cooler of ice water. The workers and animals alike keep hydrated as we race around the fields. With his full winter coat still on, Rocky is sticking to the shade during the day to keep cool.<\/p>\n
