Working in the fields

written Sunday, 29 July 2007

 

 

Yesterday for the first time I went and worked in the fields with one of my sisters, weeding around the peanut plants.   It was really hard work - I only lasted about two hours and my entire body hurts today - but it was fun.  I'm going back again today.

 

It made me think of my grandpa who just died - he used to grow peanuts (and other things) before he switched to raising cattle.   I wonder if he would have been happy to know that I'm learning how to farm.
