It's a rainny day

It’s a rainy day, a rainy day
It’s raining outside so we can’t go out and play……but wait, apparently you can work out in the field. It was only a light drizzle this morning but that didn’t stop us doing the morning chores, i.e. collecting the eggs, feeding the chickens, turkeys, more chickens, pigs, Bob the goat, more chickens. I made the rounds with Zac. He assured me that I would not be doing this on my own until I felt comfortable with it. (I’m thinking ''comfortable? Maybe neverrrr! Hopefully, I’m just kidding there. )
The rain did not stop us from weeding the lettuce, the spinach, pulling up the broccoli plants (those little devils have some root system and want to hold on tight.) The rain came down harder after lunch so we moved under cover and planted 30 trays of spinach. Interesting process – a lot is involved with getting those little seeds in the little trays of about 35 squares of dirt.
One thing for sure, I’m certainly learning to appreciate farmers. I think that began with my first trip to Genesis Farm and has continued to grow ever since.
So it is evening now. Things are quite and I’m sitting in my little camper. I managed to warm up with a little soup for supper. The rain has stopped. The camper is comfortable. Rather small but they even hooked up the water and gas for me. The outhouse still remains outside, as does the shower still doorless (maybe by the next time I see Jerry we’ll be smelling more alike. Guess loosing my sense of smell might have its perks after all.) I’m tired, as soon as it gets a little darker I’m sure I’ll be in my sleeping bag with a prayer for a good night’s sleep.
I usually write the blog up during the evening and post them the next morning – just in case you were wondering.
