Yes, it's been awhile...

Take a break - you might miss something.

This past week was three long days turning ground, planting, and interruptions to run for replacement parts.

You know that a drive belt never breaks until you use it, right?

And a planter plate doesn't turn if it's jammed.

I was rushing to plant the early crops before a rain on Thursday and another all-day job off the farm on Friday.

This is the time of year that if you get into a hurry, you miss things.

Like a sunset at the end of a long day, where the shadow cast along the bottom half of a soft maple tree but the sun illuminates the crown.

You can find your own metaphor in this but I find it one pauses once in a while you may capture a memory or two. I would have liked a better camera/skills to capture it for others.

Stay safe out there and give the farmers a little leeway while they move equipment from field to field.

It's planting season.
