Racing the Rain

The tractor, slow and steady, races the gathering rain clouds dancing overhead in gusts and gallops. A hurried step takes over the normally slower life of working the Earth. The farmer is torn....Between the need for water beneath the fields that will surely become a blessing during drier months, and the need to finish preparing the beds for planting....Between the need for rest and the knowledge that there will be plenty of time for rest after the water falls and halts the progression of the season.

The ever-present waltz between the farm family and the unpredictability of nature.
