looks like another gloomy day on tap.

.57 here.

.09 rain overnight here. A cool 59 cloudy gloomy kind of day so far. Hopefully there will be some improvement throughout the day. And keep that heavier rain away from me. I rototilled the garden yesterday. I hilled up my potatoes yesterday. That ground was heavy to move up against the potato plants. They should have been hilled up several weeks ago. But the constant rain and water laying in the garden made it impossible to do.

Was talking to the farmer yesterday that farms our land. He said they are behind on planting. He said they couldn't plant our neighbors 1.5 acre section because of it being too wet. They are a month behind on planting our farm. Now our farm was the last to be planted. He also said they might have to replant soybeans that were planted this year in cornfields from last year, I asked why, he said slugs eat the seed because it was so wet and cold. The perfect weather for slugs to thrive.

Yea the mud is a tinge dry. I walked down to the garden. There is a little water laying in a few spots. I walked in the garden and I started to sink in the ground. It will be at least tomorrow till (I hope) I can get in there hopefully to rototill.

more rain.

My garden has water sitting in it again.

More doom and gloom. Man I'm hoping this is not a setup for a repeat of 1972.

1.96 rain for the month so far.

.86 rain overnight.

I'm trying to hold it back from crossing the Susquehanna River, but my efforts might be futile.

Continuous lightning to my west.
