On to our story.
We are one month into hurricane season.
Last month, Tropical Storm Alberto came to visit.
Me: “Hey, Katie, did we get any water?”
Katie: “It looks like a lake.”
Me: “Did the ducks come?”
Katie: “No ducks. (Insert frown emoji)”
We got seven inches of rain out at the ranch.
Our soil is clay, so too much water means we will have standing water for weeks.
In the past, ducks have come to swim in our “pool.”
While we love the ducks (they are really cute), once again, we will be delayed in planting flowers.
Our ongoing dilemma is that we need water so the grass can grow for the horses, but we also need the ground to be dry to till and plant flowers.
Achieving one goal complicates reaching the other, creating a challenging situation where we must balance both needs.
This week, we are learning the lesson of balance.
