I'm a bird appreciator, but certainly not an expert.

Though we haven't been in the path of tornadoes or hail, others have not been as fortunate. I feel so badly for people who had so much damage to their homes and farmsteads.

He confirms that they are also good "singers." As I told him, I'm not a bird expert - just a bird appreciator. <br /><br />We got another 1.80" of rain last night. It would be nice to share some with you and bottle some up for August when we will likely need it.

I enjoy seeing the transition from green to golden...although the in-between isn't always so pretty. You're exactly right...farmers are never completely content with the weather. One needs dry weather to plant or harvest...another needs rain for crops to grow...and often on neighboring farms! Right now we need dry for planting...it's several weeks behind this year.Alicahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17973714830730420149noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-746965660860204993.post-73118945992090439912016-05-27T07:45:33.431-05:002016-05-27T07:45:33.431-05:00Kim,
Glad to hear you are getting good moisture. I...Kim,<br />Glad to hear you are getting good moisture. I think it's easier to wait for the ground to dry vs. watch your hard work and crops dry up.<br /><br />Dad says they are sitting good for moisture also. He is in the same boat as you with alfalfa, they are getting enough moisture at night to keep them from cutting, but a little more time will be ok for the plants.<br /><br />We could use rain. The prairie is green and crops are growing, but they need a drink sooner than later.<br /><br />A meadowlark with red wings? Great bird capture! Our meadowlarks are brown and yellow. They are sure singing, everyday I hear their beautiful songs. <br /><br />In April I bought 2 bird feeders and set them outside the kitchen window. Currently I am seeing goldfinches and little brown birds that I think are finches too.

Lots of seed crops here too (cabbage, kale, carrots and beets)--Planted in the fall and harvested the next fall.
