looking spectacular, mr sunshine.
my harvest season luck was mixed. we had a record setting september for rain and temps throughout september that were on par with mid november averages. i had to harvest it all early.
a week into trimming, my wife (who is living in cali right now) breaks her arm. well, a hairline fracture, but still. she was in rough shape. but no need to worry, she was still able to take care of herself, drive herself to work, cook, walk the dog, etc.
a week later, she breaks her other arm. this time, she really breaks it. breaks it in the exact same fashion: she's walking the dog when the dog sees something, takes off, and pulls her to the ground (he's a 135 pound mastiff/dane mix).
so halfway through trimming, i have to take off to cali to take care of her, drive her to work, cook for her, walk the dog, help her get in and out of the tub, dress her, etc. basically everything but wiping her ass.
when i finally get back, the rest of the crop was useless garbage. i just wheelbarrowed it out back and chucked it in the cornfield. half the crop gone.
my only consolation was that what i did trim got moved for a decent price almost as soon as i got it into bags. cured for maybe a day before it got swooped up.
next year we will run faster, stretch our arms further....and one fine morning - so we beat on, boats against the current, borne back ceaselessly into the past.
