Rain:
Tuesday Dane told me there would be 65 mile an hour winds on Saturday.  I ulcered over it for 2 days.  We picked tomatoes.  I tied up plants.  I mulled over what to do with extras since we have more tomatoes now then we have all season long.  Good ones too.  I decided to freeze them en mass for sauce if Saturday was a sad bust and we all kept working.  Dane, by far the fastest picker, discovered that he can pick piles of tomatoes at sunset and I can go through with a headlamp on and pick them up into boxes.  The third night in a row we did that and I got home at 10 - I started to switch into a strange space between gratitude (it is nice quiet time under the stars) and "whatever" mode. By Thursday afternoon the threat of big big rain had dissipated and I was OK with any outcome.  Friday, when we started packing the barn into our trucks - I was amazed at the amount.  My camera is full of pictures from last May, otherwise I would have taken a photo - but it was full full full.  As are now our trucks.  A little rain this morning according to the forecast.  That is not so bad.
