Our June weather has been a tale of two seasons this past week. We started the week wrapping up bean planting and hurrying to get the corn sprayed and nitrogen applied before it got too tall. As you can see in the picture below we finished the week with lots of rain.
We even had a rescue Friday afternoon. The fire department went to get our neighbor lady by boat. The flooded creek has since receded back into it's banks.
June showers bring lots of yard mowing. Here Gideon is mowing their yard getting ready for company. We are all going over for dinner today for his sister Rachael's birthday party. I think she is going to be seven.
June showers bring lots of May flowers or something like that. Jan has flowers all over the place including Iris's.
Oops. Somebody missed the box. June showers didn't do that. But the wet ground in early June did cause some soybeans to damp off on the tighter soils. That means the soybeans all started growing and then got wet feet and died on the clay hillsides.
This is the first field of soybeans we planted in late April. They will soon be ready for their second spraying.
Last evening before Jan and I went for a ride to pick up the old van that had been left at a field I went out and took a picture of some early April planted corn. If I pulled the leaves up it was 48 inches tall. Thank you Lord for June showers.
