Harvest time
What's that saying? "This ain't my first rodeo?"  Well for farmers it must be, "This ain't the first time I've cut wheat on Father's Day." If you weren't cutting wheat Sunday then you are very devout, your cutters are not here yet, or your combine is broken.
We took the girls to the 4-H camp drop off and then slowly made our way back home.  Then Weston and I headed "out west" to my parents.
I saw a man working Sunday, and let's just say his is a pretty nice guy, but perhaps he is less that perfect in other ways. His kids came out to see him.  I saw them rush up and give him a big hug.  At first I thought, does he deserve that?  But then I quickly thought to myself does any parent deserve the love their children give so freely?
