It’s fun to hang out at the field when there’s a combine running. It’s fun to watch. It’s fun to take pictures. It’s fun to ride. It’s fun to race around the field. It’s fun to play in the truck. It’s just fun. And since I am so organized and efficient and everything is always […]
The God of Harvest Praise
The God of harvest praise, With loud thanksgiving raise, Hand, hearts, and voice, The valleys laugh and sing, Forests and mountains ring, The plains their tribute bring, The streams rejoice. Of food for man and beast, Jehovah spreads a feast, Above, beneath: Ye herds and flocks, draw near, Fowls, ye are welcome here; His […]
A Little Bit of Corn Harvest
Cutting Corn..
Of Snakes and Mowers
This is a tale of a mower and a snake. And a heroine that does not like snakes. I repeat, DOES NOT like snakes. This particular heroine had a yard that was in desperate need of attention and trimming. Even though it was 105-110 degrees most of the summer with very little rain. This heroine […]
A John Deere R
There was some rearranging and moving of machinery on our farm the other day. It resulted in my little man getting to leave his schoolwork and go help for a little while. This did not make him sad. Plus, he was still learning, just not reading, writing, or arithmetic. No, he wasn’t learning one of the […]
The Pet on this Farm
I’ve been wanting to introduce you to one of the top priority pets on this farm. You’ve met Sprocket and various cats. This pet is more the pet of the farmer and his wife instead of the farm kids. I think the farm kids like it, but the farmer and mrs. farmer like it better. […]
Sprocket
You need to meet someone important. He is even more important than the cats and kittens on this farm. He holds a pretty high status to the children around here. Therefore without further ado, meet… SPROCKET!! He is half dachshund and half terrier. He loves his kiddos adoringly. And we are all fond […]
Hauling Hay
I was able to help my husband haul hay. I use the term “help” very loosely. My “help” consisted of riding along, chatting, and taking pictures. It was fun. Well, it was fun for me. I could sit in the air-conditioned truck. And read my book. Or get it out and take […]
A Girl and Her Kittens
Every farm and every girl should have a kitten. Or two or three or ten. Ten? Maybe not ten. Ummm, yeah, ten. Right now our farm has ten cats. And one farm girl who seriously loves each and every one. And names each and every one. And mourns each and every one when it dies […]
Mrs. Farmwife
This is where I spent a few hours the end of last week. Not just as a rider. I got had to drive it. I’m not really a let-me-drive-every-piece-of-equipment-that-you-own type of farmwife. Unfortunately, for my husband. Because I would be a lot more help if I was. I don’t mind hanging out in equipment […]
