One would think by another body and it is in feet, however, we are expanding the run for the kids. It'll give them shade and they can be almost with me when working in the yard, just a thin wire away. Just not sure how the snow will fill in or if it'll blow through, I do know that Casey, the BIG blonde lab won't be able to jump in.
I was talking with Mr. Ripley this past weekend at the market about harvest and how it's coming along in his part of the country. Wheat is near down. My Dad was a grain elevator manager all of my life and most all of his. Harvest was busy, we rarely saw him. Mom would make hot meals and deliver, he'd give us a hug and a quick hello.
His days began before sunrise and often ended well into the night.
Our family had a 1 acre garden with other families growing potatoes, zuchini, cucumbers, muskmelon and watermelons. The watermelons would crack from ripeness and the taste would drip down our chin's. My brother and I were the only kids, we worked hard and were good pickers. The harvest was plenty, laborers were few...
One thing was missing, a dog. Well, they're not missing anymore.
Enjoy your week friends!
