Clouds

It is interesting how much of out daily conversation involves moisture for the crops. Rain at key times can make the difference between a great crop and a poor one. Rain with hail can mean no crop at all. Farmers are gamblers and mine is never at peace until the harvest is done. Even then, the price of wheat varies day to day. You never know if selling today is too soon or too late for the best price.

I was called in from the quilt shop to take care of a child with pneumonia. We ask each other for help with the understanding that we are available when the need arises. When there isn't a need, I get to be at the quilt shop. It is the best moonlighting job possible.
