Well, I guess the drought is over. After experiencing the driest September in over 120 years, we got some rain last Friday, and then some more, and then more and more. By Sunday our rain gage showed that in about 48 hours we had about 4.5 inches of precipitation. Much less than in other parts of this area, but definitely a lot of water. With this rain we already surpassed by over 40 percent October's average rainfall.
Because of the rain and the mud, harvesting last Saturday was quite challenging. And yet six hardy worksharers took part in the harvest. It is interesting how working under such conditions (driving rain, boot-sucking mud, and so on) usually infuses the whole team with a spirit of cheerful camaraderie.
