Scotty (Top's Younger Twin) - what the heck are we going to do to get a break here on the east side of the Rockies in Canada. I am on the flat land east of Calgary. 2 weeks ago the ground finally dried up enough from spring melt to work the land and get the garden in (our main garden is 1 acre so not a small job). 2 weeks minus 1 day it started to rain. For the next 6 days we got the most rain in decades. Last Monday I figured we were dry enough to cultivate and till garden. Whoops!!!! 1960ish IH 350 Utilitytractor made it about 10 feet into garden and then sunk to axles. Front and back at the SAME TIME!!!!!! I might finally get garden turned over tomorrow but it is the first week in June. Geeze only 90 days until the next killing frost. If the we get tornado or hailed out - there won't be any time to start over. Glad no one in your area got hit by twisters. Looks like have hot weather here east of Calgary on Sunday. It might get exciting.
Tomorrow...24C or 80F and humid. A 50F swing in temps.
