11/11/19 The temps dropped into the negatives overnight. Yesterday was in the teens. I did chores bundled from head to toe and it was cold!! I want to stay by my fireplace and never leave the house. This morning it was zero when we woke up. THe ground has a light layer of snow from Saturday night.
A larger portion of the country is under the cold, breaking records all over the place. Here in Iowa the whole state hit record lows. The cold is here for the week.
We are fortunate to be done harvesting, but many are not. I have compassion for the other farmers. I fell bad for them, hope they can finish soon, and pray for them. Their lives depend on it. Not everyone carries this kind of sympathy and compassion. I can't be happy and feel relieved until all the others have their crops out as well. Yes, I am glad that we are done and not out struggling like the rest. The snow has created problems, and now the ground is freezing. All over the state the availability of propane has come to a halt. Only homes and hog confinements are able to get any. Farmers need the propane to heat their dryers in order to dry corn. The corn is too wet to store in grain bins without drying. Many farmers are stopped and can't keep going without the propane.
11/12/19 Today we got some new snowflakes, big giant fluffy flakes.
