Wheat Harvest {Take 5}
This morning found me slicing up cucumbers for pickles and then errand-running, with parts and seed to go get for my man and a few things to pick up at Wal-Mart. This evening it was supper-to-the-field-time, but I didn’t stay very long. Mom had green beans for us to pick if we wanted them. Renae […]
