What's a farmer to do?

What do you do when your field looks like this?
Soggy, wet and too muddy to work.
You need to get in the field and plant so your safflower can look like this before the snow flies next fall.
So what does the manly, macho farmer do at a time like this?

How about a little sewing project?   Yep, that's what Boyd did to pass the time.
Boyd wanted something to stop the draft coming under the basement doors in his shop.  We went to Walmart and found some waterproof fabric and the poly-fil stuff.  Boyd was dutifully holding the two packages of stuffing, waiting for the lady to cut the fabric, when all of the sudden one of the packages exploded!  I am not kidding.  There he stood with chunks of white stuffing clinging to his overalls and piles of it cascading around his feet.  The poor man had such a look of shock on his face!  The Walmart lady busted out laughing so hard.  She kept thanking him for making her night!   We cleaned it all up and taped it back in the bag.  Who knew those things were under such pressure?

Apple Blossoms

 Kind of past their prime, but I was glad I made it out to photograph them.
