So it’s been raining pretty much nonstop for four days now. Surprisingly, I’ve been holding up rather well. The insulated rain boots I hemmed and hawed over spending eighty dollars on have been a friggin life saver. Plus, the cold, wet days have inspired us all to bake, which heats up our living space like a little oven. The winds were so powerful yesterday that they pulled up all of the agrabon (protective sheet-like material used to cover the beds we’ve planted) we had carefully had laid down last week. Today we spent the entire soaking morning slipping around in the mud, untangling the damn stuff and pulling it off the field to dry (maybe, someday). By the time we were done we all looked like swamp creatures. “This is typical spring weather”, everyone (literally EVERYONE) keeps telling us over and over again, “it rained non-stop through June last year”. I really wish people would keep information like that to themselves. When it comes to bad weather predictions I’d rather the bliss of ignorance.
