Been A Long Time

Today it was raining cats & dogs. The farm work did not stop, all of our employees were hard at it, they are such hard workers! They were all wet & a little cold. Winston still needed to move the tractor's to another field, about a mile from the house. Booda had taken a truck load of produce to the cooler. Winston & him were going to take the tractors when he got back. The rain had slacked off a little, I told him he should go ahead & try a move them, the radar did not show it letting up any time soon. I told him I would help him, he had been wet most of the day. I got in the closet, grabbed some coveralls. He & I took 2 tractors over & Cayla picked us up. Back to the farm....we needed to take one more tractor. I told him I would take it since I had on the coveralls! Well, let me tell ya, the frog strangler came next!!! Before I could get on the paved road it was pouring! Winston just knew I was going to let him have it....not...I was just laughing! I had on a hat and the coveralls worked pretty good! I really did not mind, it brought back a lot of childhood memories. I did not know if I could remember how to crank the tractor, they are all different, but I did...no prob. It has been a long time since I drove a tractor!!

Kylie needs Six Doddars

Today I was getting the payroll ready. Had a little cash to hand out. Kylie saw me counting this & she needed some money. In a few minutes I called for her...she was in Papa's office. I asked what she was doing....she said she needed 6 doddars and she was trying to open the place where we keep our small stash of cash, I mean really small! Guess who showed her where this was??? Papa of course! It was so funny! I gave her some change and she was happy!

Omar Hurricane

Well who would imagine that a hurricane named Omar would affect our farm? That is just what happened. We were picking cubanelles, we sell ships of them to Puerto Rico. Guess where Omar was???? You got it...right there by it. They actually had 2 ships sold & they both had to cancel due to the rough seas. Winston had picked a lot of boxes. Then they called & said to stop picking....our bushes are just loaded down & they need to come off. Winston was worried last night. I said a prayer before he ever came home asking for help in this situation. When WB came home I assured him that tomorrow would be a better day! God is so good & those ships were able to roll again today, thank-you for our harvest Lord!!! Thank-you for this great friend I am married to & for his love & dedication to this family. I know he has faith, but he has that little worry wart that just rears his ugly head every now & again!!! He knows you are there, lets face it, if not he could not farm!!! Thank-you to all the farmers in this great country that are willing to sacrifice themselves to feed & clothe this country...all because of Gods hand in it!! God Bless our American Farmers and families.

Painting our childhood barn!

This barn has been the home to about 5 horses, a goat, chickens and a deer. This barn holds many memories for all of our family. I decided I would just take a chance & paint it!!! I am not finished with it as of yet!

The Pumpkin Patch

Saturday we went to Mark's Pumpkin Patch. I wanted Kylie to be able to pick her own pumpkin. We invited her cousins to go. Kevin drove while we watched a couple of Halloween movies. One of them was the It's The Great Pumpkin Patch, Charlie Brown....bring back any memories!!! We had a great time and Kylie was so excited to share the day with her cousins. They made it more fun for her!! So glad they could go. I will post slide show shortly!
