Tomorrow is going to be really wet. Unfortunately I have a meeting I have to drive to tomorrow, but the windshield wipers work well on Big Red. We need the rain too — it’s been fairly dry lately and this will help us overcome the rain deficit.
Rainfall forecast Thur. and Fri is quite the kolidescope of color. This is because rainfall amounts will be both…

More than anything, this is just a gallery of images telling the story of getting the seeds into the ground. I love this time of year when you can smell freshly turned dirt in the air and see the tractor lights in the fields at dusk. Farmers putting that seed down with the hopes of a great return in the fall. Though grain prices are at catastrophic lows, farmers never waiver. This is their conception point. They only get a chance to do this once a year and maybe 40 some times in a lifetime. Put the seed down and pray for the perfect rain, heat and sunshine over the summer.
I am so ready to hear this.
As spring approaches, the days are getting longer, the weather is getting warmer. Winter is starting to wind down, slowly but surely. ⛄🌸🌹

When I went for my lunchtime walk, the sun was shinning and it was modestly warm. 🌞 Gave me hope that spring might happen eventually … 🌷
A month ago, Australians were praying for rain to put out horrific wildfires and save forests, animals and homes. A deluge is now falling on Australia's east coast — and while it's quashing stubborn fires, the water is also causing flash floods and other hazards.
The Bureau of Meteorology in New South Wales, the country's most populous state, warns of "very dangerous conditions" ranging from heavy rain to damaging winds.
