We have been cultivating our stubble ground, making summer fallow. We started this project about two weeks before we usually do, because it is terribly terribly dry this spring. Cultivating creates a dust mulch that helps preserve what little moisture we have. That, combined with a heavy straw residue that creates a mulch, conserves moisture and prevents drying down deep from the surface. Hoping for rain, but that's just a hope!

| Cultivating! This is one of my favorite spring jobs on the farm. |

| Nice to have a drink holder built in to the back of the buddy seat. |

| Satellite guidance alerts you, asking if you are alive, if you have not turned your tractor for a predetermined amount of time. I am alive by the way! |
Speaking of hope, sitting on the porch in the evening, with a glass of wine or a beer is our goal but not always achieved for various reasons. Conditions that prevent front porch sitting include work, cold weather, wind, meetings.

| Finger prints on the glass prove that I'm actually drinking this wine! |
However, last night I was able to sit on the front porch, with my Corona to celebrate Cinco de Mayo and join book group via zoom. It was a good night!
