Last Monday evening, as Sylvia went out to the garden to finish weeding around the tomatoes, she asked me to bring out the tomato cages in about a half hour.  Twenty two minutes later, I walked out of the house, noticed that it was not very bright outside and then I looked at the sky and saw this:

I’m a trained weather spotter and I knew what it meant.  So I zoomed in and got a closer look with the camera.

I walked quickly to the barn, tossed tomato cages on the trailer then delivered them to the garden.  Dismounting from the tractor, I quickly began placing cages beside tomato plants.  Before 14 cages were delivered, the drops began to fall.  We decided to install the cages on Tuesday and Sylvia headed for the house and I for the barn.  As I pulled tractor and trailer into the barn, heavy rain began to fall.  That was good timing.  “Thank you Lord!”

On Saturday, the greenhouse in Lake Odessa would end their season.  Sylvia went in to find some flowers.  In that she failed, but she did bring home some cucumber and egg plants, which are now in the ground.

Now we await the harvest.  It shouldn’t be long before the first peas are ready.  The rhubarb has been feeding us now for some time.
