Spring Rains

I can't quite figure this weather - we are having spring-like rains instead of frosty winter. Thunder, lightning and heavy downpours have been coming in waves all day long and continuing into the night. It's quite warm outside and the rain just won't quit.

I never did plow. Yesterday was the day to do it, when the sun was high and all but the middle of the one field was dry but I couldn't change the blades by myself. It takes at least three hands to remove the big steel rollers and I only have two hands, last time I checked. Husband wouldn't come home to help so now the fields will be soaked. The key is to create good drainage for the wheat by creating canals between the rows but it just isn't going to happen. Failed farmer. sigh
