Bonfire of time

Today went by so fast and it seems like I got so little done. Some spraying, worked on the pump, tank and lines for the foliar feed applicator. Mowed and sprayed weeds in the vineyard. Feels like I was mostly busy but haven't got highly visible results to show for it. Lots of mental struggle today, looking for parts, arranging things etc. which is always difficult to measure while still being taxing.

Dad on the other hand made huge showing with the small ripper and the new chain-link drag I welded up a couple days ago. He also ran the field plane around what will be the tomato field so land work is totally falling into place.

We have a couple days of showers coming Tue.-Thur. which has caused us to postpone planting corn. Will spend a little of tomorrow and/or Monday calibrating the new fertilizer drops in the white corn field. We use a different seeder for that but the fertilizer can still go down first.

It's a pleasantly balmy spring evening. That special yellow color which I love so much has started to return to the sunlight which shines down our valley each evening now. Hard to be too down when such beauty abounds.

A happy night to you and yours.

Those days that are busy with lots of non-visible tasks can be frustrating. I love the spring-summer dusk and watching the fading colors. It's nice and warm here again, finally.
