Rain is a good thing!

Everyone is talking about the weather! But I am a person who always tries to see the glass half full!

In this case, the rain gauge is half full :)

 

When ever I get down about getting rained out I listen to this song and I can't help but get a huge smile across my face and want to dance around! Come July Rain will be a great thing!! Hopefully you all have been getting your rain barrels out and saving all the rain falling out of the sky to save you money when you know you will be needing it later!

 

The opening of this video is amazing <3 and Luke Bryan's stunning vocals aren't too bad either!

 

 

Here's to a weekend putting all the rain to good use!

How many rain barrels do you suppose it might take to irrigate a 1000 acres or so of corn this July ? Tried to spread urea on wheat today and ended up dragging it back out of a well tiled field.
