I know I talked about rain yesterday, but it rained again today. Maybe we will catch up on our rainfall. I hear that the Midwest is having a lot of rainy, soppy weather, and it's interfering with growing crops, such as corn. Now don't get me wrong; I like corn. It's just that I prefer a nice green salad. And it always seemed - the few times I and my family grew corn in our garden - that we couldn't get enough water to the plants. They always turned dry and brown. Still, I hope it dries up a little for the farmers. I try to cheer for my comrades whenever I can.
With the economy going the way it is, I am very glad I have my little garden, even though so far it hasn't produced much. There is such a feeling of independence, knowing that I will have tomatoes and cantaloupe that I didn't buy from the store. I am beginning to chafe at being here, instead of on our farm in Kentucky. Our yard needs some fruit and nut trees desperately, as well as a couple of herb beds and a vegetable garden extension. Why am I living in a rented house, anyway?
