Last Big Mum Dig
Monday morning I woke and it was looking cloudy. I checked the radar and
listened to the weather report. The radar showed rain on the way and the
forecast was for 3 or 4 days of rain. I went and woke Linda and asked
Stacey to get dressed. We hopped in the Mule and headed to the mum
patch. We dug 30 mums for the Homemakers' party on Thursday. We dug a
few extras and some yellow and a few white ones that Regina needed to
take to buyers. It began misting rain as we were finishing the digging
and potting. We pulled the hay wagon to the house and left it set so the
rain would water the potted mums and went inside. After lunch, Linda
went to the day care and Stacey and I went to the hay shed and moved
things around to make room for the hay wagon. Later, once Linda was
home, she and I pulled the hay wagon full of mums to the hay shed and
backed it inside.
Tuesday morning I pulled the wagon back out and let
the rain continue the watering of the potted mums. We pushed it back in
the hay shed about noon. That should be enough water for the mums. We
received over 4" of rain in the last two days. We needed it bad as the
creek had been dried up. It's good to see the creek water flowing again.
