Posted by JDseller on May 30, 2011 at 20:58:34 from (208.126.196.144):

My grandson and I had a good walk today. we covered all of the home farm plus two neighbors places too. We had a good long talk about what each of us have been through and how it changes your life. I told him it will make many things back here seem like small things.

An example of that: In the mid 1980s things where tight money wise. The banker told me that if I did not have a good year with the crops and livestock he would not be able to loan me any operating money the next year. I told him that it was in Gods hands and I would survive either way. He looked at me funny and ask me how come it did not seem to be that important to me. I said it IS important but it is not life threatening. I spent almost four years in combat and I lived. I think one bad crop or a few bad years money wise in not in the same ball park.

On a different note: I showed my grandson a natural spring that we always used to drink out of when making hay. It is just across the fence from the two fields that always has one in hay. Before insulated water jugs a cold cup of spring water tasted like honey on a hot summer day. There is a tin cup, that has a loop made on the bottom so it hangs upside down, hanging on a nail on a tree just above that spring. That cup was put there by my Great Grand Father. He died in 1955 and had not farmed for fifteen years then. So that tin cup has been hanging there since before WWII. I had forgotten about it. I also have never seen another one like it either. I know that some would say to take it to the house but he left it there for the rest of us to use to drink from. I am going to honor his intent. I WILL show all of my grand kids where it is and tell them who put it there. My kids have all used it back when we used to made small square bales of hay. All of them helped, boys and girls.

Well I hope you all had good day too. Night.

Today's Featured Article - History of the Nuffield Tractor - by Anthony West. The Nuffield tractor story started in early 1945.
