Farmers talk about the weather a lot.
That's an understatement.
It's a topic of conversation everyday.
As we watched the ponds get lower and lower in late
March and early April, we were concerned
about drought and the impact that has on our farm.
While the local weather men and women talked about
the sunny, pleasant weekends, we were hoping for rain.
We definitely have a different perspective when
it comes to the weather.
it started to rain!
The pastures went from short blades of grass to
thick green pastures with buttercup weed.
Although you don't want to see weeds in the pastures,
I am thankful for the grass that the rain has provided
and ponds that are in better shape as we get closer to
summer time temperatures and dry weather.
While weather is a prominent topic of discussion,
there are always fun topics to share with our family,
the beauty provided by the long awaited spring rains.
