We now have 1.25 inches. Daug and Bekah are delivering hay. They loaded the enclosed trailer with plans to deliver it yesterday morning. Things often don't go as planned. The rain is supposed to let up by the time they get back so they can wrap the round bales they had planned to wrap last night.
Yesterday was spent unloading a couple trailers, rebaling broken bales, bailing the large bales and other odds and ends.
The big accomplishment was digging the garlic. It is a large and beautiful crop. It filled the greenhouse tables. Before the heat returns it will be curing on shelves in the garage with fans. The timing of the harvest was perfect. I picked two gallons of blueberries. That timing was good too, this hard rain would have knocked the ripe berries to the ground. The rain is good for the berries that are still ripening.
The extra chicks we were given this spring were "as hatched" meaning they weren't sexed. We needed a rooster and Rachael and Evan were pleased to get the Araucana rooster. The Amish boys who helped ud hay were happy to take a rooster home yesterday. We still have a few more.
1.32 of rain now. May God bless you on this day, Sally
