June is Bustin’ Out All Over


     June started out with jacket weather, the clouds low, humidity high.

 
    


   Time to do a little work in the rockery.

 


 
    June bustin’ out should not have included sod busting, but it did.  This plow boy paid more attention to social obligations than to good ag practices.  April mud turned to June concrete.

      The plow, which had been going gangbusters during the first two weeks of May, went on strike after Memorial Day and refused to do anything but slide on top of the grass.  Retire the plow.

 



    A little paint will keep the rust away.  Break out the oneway. 



     Last year’s weight box redo had to be redone—shoddy welding.  Willy Suchanek’s wooden weight box outlasted my metal one by 39 years “or be’er."
       A new tire is in order.



 
    The sod busting got done, but a good rain would have made life easier.  It still would.  The wheat is showing the stress. 


                                   
But the bloomin’prairie didn’t seem to mind.
