I am not liking these foggy mornings. Leona Hajek told me she was informed 90 days after the first foggy morning we will have rain. She has it figured we will have rain during wheat harvest. My father said it is good to have wind in the spring. It is good for the growth of the wheat. My garden, onions, potatoes, and radishes look good. My hyacinths, tulips, and small iris and jonquils are in full bloom. So are my peach and apricot trees.
