I can't believe that we are in the middle of September and still flooding. We received more rain this week in what seems like a never ending cycle. We were fortunate enough to have our chopping done on Labor Day but many neighbors and friends are struggling to get through the fields. We have heard of farmers pulling the forage wagons through the field with 2 tractors and burying the chopper up to its axles just to try to fill a bag before the corn gets to dry. It hard to image what combining will be like. Could you image burying a combine in a wet field?
This week has been a trying week for me. I have been fighting a terrible headache for over a week. I have heard there was a virus going around that is mimicking allergies, so maybe that is what I have. My headache turned into a full blown migraine and resulted in a day home to rest. My migraine has lessened back down to a headache with the help of the chiropractor and pills but still not being able to hold food down and worse yet, Will is now showing the same symptoms. Mom and dad sick and lyndin still as active as ever is not a good combination. I pray Will recovers faster than I am as he has hay cut with another field to do and then needs to rake and bale before they start combining. Will it ever get easier?
Life on the farm will get really hectic really soon so I am enjoying the nights of having nothing to do before the nights of having too much to do come.
