Evening At The Farm...

 

I do love an evening at the farm! A couple of nights ago, The Farmer called and asked for drinks and snacks to be taken to the farm. He was in in the middle of a BIG project and he and the crew of workers would be there until late. They all needed a little pick-me-up. The Rooster and I headed to the farm...snacks in hand...thinking it would be a quick trip. We should have known better! The weather was perfect! Cool...a slight breeze...perfect! The Farmer's BIG project was interesting to watch, but I also found a few minutes to take in the beautiful clouds and surrounding scenery.

 

Uncle Dan's chile was very close by and it looks beautiful!...He is a great farmer.

It was the perfect evening at the farm...complete with snacks, great company, 

entertainment and beautiful weather!

 

I sure like that Rooster! He has had a bit of a growth spurt this Summer...new pants and new shoes are very necessary these days. The only problem is that he is so darn skinny!

It makes it VERY hard to find pants that fit him!  That boy is going to need a hair cut....soon!

Mr. Potato Head

Today,

Mr. Potato Head, (aka. The Farmer) and I took a little drive.

Everything was very beautiful today. It was a bit

overcast...not too hot and the clouds were lovely.



I got a little lesson on potatoes today,

Mr. Potato Head was the teacher, and I must admit

it was interesting and I learned alot. The above picture is

the beginnings of many potatoes, imagine that!

Tractors working....

that makes a Farmer happy!



Watering...all kinds of wonderful things going on

at the potato farm.

We passed a nearby wheat field...it was

beautiful...still a little green,

but beautiful!

A lovely afternoon with

MR. POTATO HEAD.....

(aka. The Farmer!)

Tractor

I changed my icon this week. Truthfully this picture really spoke to me. The Farmer really liked it too, in fact he said it looked like a really great idea to him and what was I waiting for...we have tractors ready to work, so why didn't I just climb on and get busy! The truth is...don't tell The Farmer ....since he really is at chuch most of the time, so this (above) may possibly be my fate. Now, did I ever think I would be living the farm life? NOOOOOOOOO! I did not. It wasn't exactly what I thought my life would be. I mean after all, The Farmer didn't start out to be a farmer. After graduate education he became an advertising executive with Proctor and Gamble...you know...Tide, Ivory Soap and everything else on the shelf at the store. After a few years of that, the country boy could no longer be contained within an office and we came to Mexico and the farming began. I love it here. I feel blessed to be here. There was a reason greater than farming that The Farmer needed to be here. Sooooo here we are!

I am pretty sure The Farmer would have been thrilled if he had found me with a tractor...a nice new pretty one. It may have been the only thing that could have made our life together better:)
