I am wishing for some Sunday Serenity today, but it’s not going to happen. The past week and a half has been busy on the farm, planting corn and soybeans. The weather has cooperated so everyone is working full-force to get our crops in the ground.
My job varies from day to day. Sometimes I am traveling to get parts for broken down equipment or giving workers a ride from one field to another. Every day I deliver two meals and a midday snack to several workers in various locations.
I am praying for rain showers, not only for the crops, but for a break in this hectic routine for everyone. Meanwhile, my Sunday Serenity will just have to wait.
Retired Ruth 
So glad to read your fields are in, Ruth. Hope you’ve been able to take a little breather.

At least a breather from cooking! Grandkids were here for 4 days over the holiday so no breathing then! But lots of fun…. Thinking I will spend this afternoon catching up on my blogging and writing course…… 🙂

Yes, who says farm life is quiet and idyllic? My aunt and uncle farmed sheep for many years, and were the hardest workers I’ve ever seen. Hope your crops are successful.

Thanks! We often laugh at friends who go to Vegas to gamble…. farming is enough of a gamble for us!

Sounds familiar. And while many Americans were celebrating Memorial Day today, we were home planting the garden.

Thank you for all that you do for the rest of us. Without farmers, we’d have no food. Hope you get a rest.
