It's Almost ....

It's almost . . . HARVEST TIME!

For the Wheat Crop



 





Luke Bryan can sing it far better than I can say it!



I am getting a little ahead of myself with the harvest time song though.  They just completed peanut planting and have started with cotton.  If it is the Lord's will, I'll get to show you pictures when those are ready for harvest too!

While we're on the farm subject our middle farmer, Lockwood, will graduate Kindergarten next week.  He is very excited that he gets to be "Old McDonald" and ride on the school tractor in their play.

    Great pictures, Wendy. I think the wheat is so pretty, both when it is green and fresh and when it is ready for harvest... beautiful! Are you ready for next week? ;)

A day in the life: Cotton Planting

It's 10:54pm on a Tuesday.  Doug is still planting away at the field.  My dedicated, hard working, passionate farmer has been known to log some long days.  The past few weeks I realize just how often.  We miss him when he's not home for supper with us.

The kids and I eat supper alone and now that Summer is here we sit up and wait for him to walk in the door!   He keeps a high stress level from now until the crop is harvested. So we savor our time with him when we ...

Because I love our love the most . . .

It's been ten years since we said I DO , really? "Are you serious?" - This was my answer when Doug asked me to marry him. I know I'm a pathetic idiot. I was just in shock that he really wanted to marry me. I quickly said yes before he had a chance to really think about my silly question! Now, before I blubber on about how wonderful ten years of marriage is, let me say; it's not all rainbows and butterflies. We've had a few bumps and hiccups along the way, but those have truly made our relationship grow stronger. In our newlywed stage we would occasionally list out why we loved each other. Like for instance; I love the way you leave your laundry on the floor instead of in the hamper or I love the way you burn my fried chicken. You know . . . those type love sayings - just kidding (on the why I love you part because we did say those things too)! So to the love of my life, here are a few reasons I love you! Daddy . . . You accepted this tit...
