Sometimes weeds/rocks/sticks spawn, especially on Mondays or when it rains, and they can destroy crops or sprinklers and things left in the fields.

You are right. Items can still be picked up back (even after going to sleep), as long as the player does not leave the game.

However, it seems that OP was speaking of sprinklers she placed on Ginger Island and there is no lightning there (nor crows).
