Tanka Challenge

I should have been out
gathering, planting, raking.
But needed elsewhere,
All now waits 'til tomorrow
Will the rain hold one more day?

Rain, sleet, snow or wind
Have each their own time and place
Any two of these
Can join with any other
We can only watch them play.

That is as may be
Nature does her will not ours
But to stay hunger
I will be outside today
Or no soldier beans we'll have.
