Wait a minute, and it'll change

I last wrote about the joy of going outside with no coat or hat (or various other layers).

Had to get them back out. On Tuesday and Wednesday we had pouring down rain, gusts to 50 miles an hour and then snow again. *sigh*

The winter wheat sown last fall has all germinated and greened up. With the heavy rain and flooding, patches of it were damaged -- or as DH would say, "drowneded out." The price of wheat dropped quite a bit yesterday based on the USDA crop report but seems to have recovered now. We no longer forward-contract it, but still watch the markets and growing conditions in other areas pretty closely. I expect we will soon start reading harvest progress reports from Texas.

Despite all the uproarious weather, my daffodils' buds are plumping up. These are against the east foundation of the house, a sheltered spot with morning sun. Hope to see them soon and very soon.
