Rain, again...

I really dislike wet fall weather.

Is there anything more penetratingly cold than a damp and dreary October??

I'm so thankful all the gardens were cleaned up before the rains came.  But what about harvest??  It does make one wonder what is better for harvest .... should we continue to hope and pray for sun and a dry-up OR should we just pray for a freeze that will hold the equipment up and out of the mud!  The farmers are going stir-crazy, and we all wonder just when harvest will start, much less finish.

On the positive side, all the rain is helping the ground settle - A LOT - around the house where trenches or holes were dug during the building process.  Since there is no grass, we'll be able to fill in all the low spots next spring before seeding.  The depression below is about 10 inches deep.

The cement for the floor of our detached garage did get poured last week.  I know our contractor worked VERY hard to make that happen while the weather was cooperating.  I believe at least one worker stayed until 11p to make sure the troweling was done correctly.  Not sure how the rest of the building schedule will be affected by the current weather ...
