Rain-Rain-Go- Away

Well it is still raining. We had a few dry days but not enough to get much done in the fields. Dave worked hard at digging out a willow tree grove and roots in the Old Lake. I showed up in time to hook up the tow chain to the roots and to the JD8630 for Dave to pull it out. That tractor is so big it didn't give Dave too much trouble. It took quite a few attempts to get them all out. Then he moved the duck blind over on top of the remains of the old concrete blind. Now they are all back in alignment.

We also took advantage of the fields being dry enough for me to drive over and apply fertilizer in the Old and New Lakes. It was still plenty wet in the corn stubble. The weeds are getting so big I had a hard time counting the row on the west side of the New Lake. Dave finished spreading the last few rounds while I put the JD away and got the camera to take a few pictures.

Then we went to the East Lake to pump water out on the lower end and along 80 Club Driveway. While we were hooking up the tractor a herd of around 25-30 deer appeared at the cornor by 80 Club. I got a few pictures but my movement sent them running. I mostly got white flags in the pictures. I hope you enjoy the picture of Dave getting the pump running.

There were Carp and Gar trying to swim up the water we are pumping out of the field. For a minute I thought the Salmon got lost and were puddle jumping. LOL!

This is a picture of a haze around the moon which means rain. We can do without that. I guess we will be pumping more water out or learn to plant with a motor boat. LOL! And Dave thought my rows were crooked with a tractor!

Enough for now.
Happy Spring,
Love,
Mickey
