Because it’s Simply Tuesday! And I love simply Tuesdays.
I won a copy of Simply Tuesday last week and it arrived in the mail yesterday! I love this book so much. I’ve not read Emily P. Freeman’s A Million Little Ways. It sets in a stack on my bookshelf. I’m eyeing it and I think I’m going to snag it off the shelf this morning. Her words are encouraging and relaxing and I bet it would make a great summertime read. Therefore, it may show up in Yarn Along tomorrow. MAYBE.
It depends on the amount of my in-and-outs for farm errands today. 🙂
AND. I am VERY happy about this simple thing. My broken camera lens is repaired and safely back home and right back on my camera!!!! Hmmm. Perhaps it’s not such a simple, little thing. It makes me so happy!! I didn’t know for sure where to take it or how long it might be till I could get something done for it.
My dear man had a drs. appointment in the city right at the end of June and there was a camera shop very nearby and I went in and it was a DaRLiNG shop with old cameras and film, {yes film!!!} lining the tops of the cupboards and thus, a mini museum and I was so thrilled to look around a bit and they said they could send my lens in for me, so I left it in their care and away it went and now it is back and I’m glad and glad!!!
{And I do know run-on sentences aren’t proper. However, sometimes they are fun.}
On to the Ten!
1. Home on the Range {Naturally.}
2. America the Beautiful ~ for amber waves of grain…
3. Thank God I’m a Country Boy by John Denver. You must go download this song if you do not have it. Everyone should have it. BY JOHN DENVER. Don’t miss that part.
4. I’ll Take the Dirt Road ~ Sawyer Brown. This song always made me think of Kansas. And I do love my dirt road.
5. I’m Farming and I Grow It. Parody by the Peterson Farm Bros. All their parodies are awesome! And they live in Kansas. Wootwoot!!!
6. Sunflower by Frank Sinatra “I was born in Kansas, I was bred in Kansas….” Go here to listen!
7. 40 Hour Week {For a Livin’} by Alabama. “Hello Kansas wheat field farmer, let me thank you for your time
You work a forty hour week for a livin’, just to send it on down the line.” Except, the 40 hour week doesn’t touch it during harvest and summertime. 🙂
9. The God of Harvest Praise ~ Find it over in this post.
10. Creation Calls by Brian Doerksen
What is one of your favorite songs that speak of home or remind you of where YOU live?

Yep, this does remind me of my Kansas home! I’m in Virginia now, but it once a country heart, always a country heart! Thanks for sharing at Country Fair Blog Party!

We take pieces from one place or home with us wherever we go, I think!
Growing up in Central Kansas (not too far from the half-mile long grain elevator!) we sang all the harvest songs at church in June, not at Thanksgiving. During wheat harvest, we sang “Tis the Harvest-time” and we kids would sing, “Gleaners on the hillside, John Deeres on the sunny plain,” since the real words weren’t close enough to real life.
If you want a good Kansas book, try Wind in the Wheat, by Reed Arvin. The name alone is enough to catch my heart. You’ll remember that phrase ever after, whenever you’re standing in a field of wheat.
Oh, thank-you for the book recommendation!
I love your story and memory. Thanks for sharing. 🙂
