The importance of timely rains in a drought (opens the original)
Read excerpt
My half-Norwegian blood despises heat. Summer is brutal on my ridiculously light skin and apparently weak tolerance to anything over about 82 degrees. So, I remember July, when I struggled with outdoor activities and felt consistently like an egg must feel in a frying pan. More so than my struggles, the corn and soybeans in the area seem to remember July, too. Our neighbor's corn had come up nicely, with my visiting farmer dad pointing out in late May how perfectly it had emerged, with uniform s

The new green barbed wire proved to be a lot harder to cut than the thin, rusted barbed wire we were splicing it into on a recent Sunday morning. "Would you rather hit up an auction and buy some more old wire?" I asked my husband as he grimaced cutting the new — much thicker— wire. We laughed.
