Dragged in pm

Cayla:
Took Maurice to pre-school. Made a quick run to Target with Ada. Came home and finished putting away laundry while Ada monkeyed around.
Kids took naps after lunch. We had a slow afternoon and it started raining again. Hoping the ground isn't too saturated for my drive to work tomorrow. I'm working a full day tomorrow to make up for having to re-schedule patients last Friday due to flood waters.

  1. Kentucky dragging is using a long pole, something like a cross-tie to drag across the plowed land to break up the clods of dirt. The Michigan dragging is an instrument pulled behind a tractor to also level out the ground, break up the clods and prepare for planting.

  2. It one didn't drag a field some of the seed most likely wouldn't be covered with dirt and therefore would be exposed.
