Farmer's Bounty


I know. I haven't blogged in a VERY long time. I don't really know why except that I didn't feel like sharing. Yes, I was being selfish. However, this is my favorite time of year to get my camera out. HARVEST TIME. I blog about this every year but I love to watch our crop go from dirt to green to golden. Is there going to be enough rain? Will we get a late freeze and freeze it out? Will the army worms eat it all? Will a hail storm blow through just as it is heading out and destroy it? Or will God's light shine on us and enough rain will fall and we will reap a bountiful harvest? This year all the pieces fit. Our oats were beautiful and bountiful.


Every year since Henlee was born, I take pictures of DW with his girls right before the crop is harvested. If you are a regular to my blog, you see the annual picture change. This is the time of year for about 4-6 weeks that we see very little of our DW. He leaves the house early to check and feed our cows because he can't go at lunch, he gets home around 8:30 or 9:00 at night and eats a bite with us, and then he goes to bail hay until midnight or later. The girls get very excited when they see their Daddy and it also gives DW a little jump start to hear their squeals and laughter when he walks in the door. It makes a Mom/wife's heart melt.

Therefore, the title for my post - a Farmer's Bounty. I will let the pictures speak for themselves now.







Sisterly Love. By the way, Reagan is the best big sister Henlee could have ever hoped to have. I tell Reagan she is as good a big sister to Henlee as Lisa is to me.
