Rained on Friday, late afternoon, and to be honest we truly needed the rain. The lightning was incredible, with heavy rain beating against the front of the house. I left the boys out, they both were in the shed. By dark the stars were bright, sharing the sky with the crescent moon. The breeze picked up and dried the bricks, I put coats on the boys for the night.
Saturday he found a work-around on the Ford tractor to get it started and spread 400 lbs. of 19-19-19 fertilizer on both pastures. He needs another 150 lbs. Still need the parts for the tractor, but that didn't stop him from getting his pressing chores done. Just in time, too, it rained again Saturday evening.
While he was toiling away on farm chores I went to Gettysburg for a quick road trip with my sister-in-law and our good friend Eric. We met my beloved Aunt Pat for lunch and got back before dinner.
Sunday dawned bright and fresh, dried out from the past evening's rain. Not a cloud in the sky, with that impossibly blue sky. More trees are leafing out, but still not very good shade. Cooler than yesterday, a perfect day for a ride in the park.
We got a late start, and had a good ride - just the two of us with the boys. Expected more folks to be out on such a beautiful Sunday, but walkers, bikers, and horses were fairly sparse.
