How a Farmer Can Tell it’s Hot Out
- The thermometer in the greenhouse reads “The devil called; he wants his furnace back.”
- Just looking out the window at what needs to be harvested makes you sweat.
- 15 minutes outside requires 25 minutes inside and 2 liters of water.
- You hallucinate that each vegetable you pull off the plants is yelling, “Pick me! Pick me!”
- The day’s weather page in the Old Farmer’s Almanac says, “Don’t even ask.”
- Both you and your chickens are walking around with your wings up trying to stay cool.
- When your spouse compliments you on your “healthy glow” they’re referring to your sunburn.
- Instead of going out the open door, the dogs just stand with their legs crossed.
- Your hay fork gets stuck in the bale because it melted.
- The calendar says July.
LOL! I can not imagine working a farm in this heat.
Thank you for doing the work for those of us who come to your table each week to pick up our CSA share. LOVE your homegrown organic food!
The berries husband brought home as a “get better” gesture ROCK – TY Karin!

Lana, I really hope you are feeling better. With your dynamic personality, I find it difficult to see you happy just sitting still and doing nothing! Glad you enjoyed the berries and hope to see you back at market soon. Take care!
