The Iowan Path
iowabow:
It has rained in Iowa almost every two days making construction almost impossible. Bringing in a concrete truck is just out of the question at this point and it will be for weeks to come. It rained again last night pushing concrete day further back yet again. I can only clear brush as I wait for inches of ground water to evaporated. Compounding my frustration is a greenhouse effect of a cooler summer and lots for rain that has converted my yard into a sod farm on steroids. I mow almost every three or four days when the ground hardens just enough to bring the tractor out.
On a positive note blackberry jelly time is just around the corner then the honey harvest.

Topping a tree had to be done before I could drop it. If you look closely there are power lines in the fall area of this tree. Another load of lime showed up so this afternoon I will start forming up the sides.
Pat B:
Well, at least you are staying out of trouble, John. ;) Has it quit raining?
iowabow:
Pat it was going to rain on Saturday but they changed the forecast so I just might get a weather window to prepare everything. I dug a trench running away from the site to speed things up if it does rain in the short term.
Pat B:
Hope it holds out for you.
