This may be it.

Another week of watching the rain.  Another week of watching the prognosticators earn their money with their very fancy storm watching tools.  Twice, once in the basement, we found ourselves sitting for over an hour glued to the weather channel entranced by the reds and yellows and greens,  the bouncing hail, the little lightening strikes and the constant monologue of meteorilogical terms helping us to understand exactly how close we were to destruction or death.  Very much relief but almost a let down entertainment wise when the talking heads said "the storm is past us now" and went back to regular  programming.  Then all there is to watch is more little calendar days with clouds on every one of them.
All indications are that we might be looking at a dryer week.  We will get some farming done if it is.
We have been shooting for a first pickup on June 1.  That is not going to happen I'm afraid.  Crops just aren't quite there yet.  Feel free to stop in and start the habit if you would like, but for picking up produce it is going to be the following week.
