Life on the Farm
Buckskinner:
That's a sweet looking bow! Glad you are getting some rain here and there. We've been really dry, my lawn is brown and the corn looks more like pineapple. Seems like the rains always go north or south of us.

I recently read that during middle age the wheat harvest was less then 1.5 times what they sowed on average
Surely agricolture has made giant leaps

Saw a documentary on the beginings of agriculture in the neolithic age.
They found that in much of the middle east and asia wheat grew wild in sufficient quantity that a family could harvest enough in two weeks to feed them for a year.

Nice looking bow BJ. Ya if we don't get some rain here soon the poor farmers around here aren't going to make anything, dry as I have seen it in several years, some are already feeding hay to the cows. ???

We are in the same situation. Terrible drought is posing a serious treath for all the cultivations
There are already ordinances to minimize the use of potable water. Pretty scary as "real" summer is yet to come

It always seems like we are either to dry or to wet. Been that way as long as I can remember. Right now we could use some rain. Would be nice to get some now a then get dry for wheat harvest. Don’t get to order the weather we want. Have to deal with what we get. Hope it works out.
Sometimes life is a Beach. In this case a nice secluded one. With a nice bonfire. My cousin and I sat around and tried to solve the problems of the world. Didn’t get them all solved, but did enjoy trying.
Probably take another bonfire on the beach or two yet before he leaves. It’s a good place to hang out and think about anything. Or nothing at all
