the weather has been more appropriate for april lately. on my walk today there was sun, clouds, light rain and light hail. I was visiting the boys and then walking in the fields a bit.
I recently learned that the reason that one smaller field has so many wildflowers on it is because they have been sown there. on that day, I was looking at the flowers with my friends and a guy came driving by in his SUV and started talking to us. turns out he was the farmer. he wanted to know if we were from some government agency checking on the field. then he started explaining about it. I don't remember whether they're having the wildflower field because of a law requiring it or because they get subsidies for it, it was one of those reasons. I find it funny that when you stand around somewhere here for long enough, sometimes a guy will come up to you and explain stuff to you just like that.
