Squish, squelch, squish, squelch

@rebelann I have tried to research. I guess this is a small crop way of drying wheat before taking it to the elevators. There is a thing that drives over it whipping it with chains to remove the heads of wheat or whatever. I do not know really a lot about it. It is an old fashioned method, I guess. It lets some of the moisture get dried out of the seed kernels. At the elevators they test it for moisture, and if it has too much it does not make much money.

I would not wish the hail on anyone. Later in the summer there is someone who cuts the hay off the field across from me. After that someone else comes in and dumps wheat and stirs it to dry and loads it. Those times get very dusty.

I'm curious @GardenGerty when you mentioned dumping wheat I get a mental image of truck loads of ripe wheat pods but then I get confused and wonder just why they would do that. I've never lived near a farming community so I'm ignorant about what all this means.

It is dry in the house, and warm all over.

@GardenGerty that is good to hear

We can almost feel tropical. I think part of why it feels steamy here is all the trees.

We are hovering between 75 and 80 and it just feels steamy.

I often wish we could balance the rain out somehow.

Squelch is when it gets into my shoes. No, soggy grass is not fun. In back of my house it drains down hill and it is better.

The wind can help to moderate the temperatures. It feels much worse if it is standing still.

It is funny, but also nice to know that it is the same around the world.

@GardenGerty More or less we are all unlucky the same way.

Yes, I keep the fans blowing.So far not running air conditioning.

It cooled off a bit here and we have had a day or two of sunshine.

I will just sink into the mud. You must know how klutzy I am.

Oh my that is quite an image.

Sometimes that is what happens. You just never know with Kansas.

You are right, hail can be kind of scary. It sometimes accompanies tornados and rough storms.

For many it is a very wet spring.
