Rain, Rain Go Away

It’s raining. Again.

It’s almost the end of October and only 11% of the crops in Illinois have been harvested. Many years farmers are done by now. If not completely done, then well on their way. It’s depressing. I hate depressing.

This is what the fields should look like right now.

Or better yet, like this.

And some do, but most look like this.

Do you see all that green? Here, let’s get a closer look…

All that green is not good. Not good at all, especially for being the end of October. You know what’s even worse though?

This.

This was in Iowa last week. They had between 5 and 7 inches of that dastardly white stuff fall on their fields. So yeah, it’s raining here and it’s depressing. But hey, it could be worse.

Glass half full people. Glass half full.
