Living here in N. Texas we had flooding started late March and finally ended the last day of May. Now it is hot with high temps and humidity, but nothing new for Texas. I pray that your weather gets its act together soon. Stay safe and take care.

      Sorry to pop your bubble but the heavy equipment operators on road construction jobs work harder than a farmer does and longer hours. I own farm land in North Dakota that has been in the family for a 125 years. My grandpas farmed with horses, along with my great-uncles, great-great uncles, great-grandpas, great-great grandpas... In North Dakota if one out of ten farms even have a chicken I would be surprised. They have no livestock and 90% of the time the wife works in town. Hard working farmers my ass.

Starting with the knuckle on you index finger that knuckle will be January, in-between your first and second knuckle would be February then the 2nd knuckle would be march and so on. So the knuckles are months with 31 days and in- between the knuckles are months with 30 days.
