On May 7, we got our first fields of corn planted! Now as of May 18, it rained all yesterday and rained all today. The creek is high, the ground is saturated, and I'm hopeful the little corn kernels are tucked away, ready to poke out later this week.
One benefit of the boys being home is that they help Kris on the farm a lot. (I'm trying to look on the bright side of the economic crisis brought on by overreaction and mass hysteria. How am I doing?) Really, it's great for Kris, and it's great for them, because they have real responsibilities. My dad and Cole also got a quad (or 4-wheeler, depending on where you live) running, so they drive it around to do jobs. Every job is better when you can drive a quad!
The quad also has no brakes, so you really have to learn quickly on how to slow down. Safety first, boys.
We got our garden in this weekend, too. Farming at a very small scale.
The weather is funny. Winter coats for chores in the morning, hot during the day, and back to coats at night around the fire.
I'm so excited for life to get back to normal, especially for businesses to open back up, to see more people, and to go more places. Until then, it's just work as usual - plus a quad.
