OK, so here goes. My attempt to blog. First I have to thank Christina, for giving me the little boost I needed to get started here. I am totally new to this blogging thing, and I'm still not sure how it all works, but I'll never learn if I don't start. I've been contemplating doing this for some time, but was not sure what I would blog about.
There are a lot of people out there that do what I do, so who would care what I have to say, who would want to read about what I do, plus what would they think?. All my life I have always held back doing things because of my fear of what other people might think of me. A while back, I read a quote a Facebook friend posted about not being able to control what others think; that what they think is not your problem. Bingo! That statement totally got me doing some deep thinking. I love my life, I love what I do, and I love sharing with people. So, I am going to start blogging for myself, not caring what others think. (not really, but hopefully they think good things). So here I go, one big step in a new direction; I'm starting this blogging thing.............
A Little About Myself
I married my junior high sweetheart, yes that is junior high, around 30 years ago. We got married 3 weeks after I graduated from high school. Yes, we were pretty young. It was slightly an ordeal at the time with my family, but it happened and it has been a grand married life. However, when I married him, I really didn't know what I was getting into. I believe that is true for everyone, but you see, the man I married was a farmer. And when you marry a farmer, you marry the farm. That may sound crazy, but for you farm and ranch wives out there, you can relate. I was not a city girl, by my standards, but I was not a farm girl. I, however, feel that I have evolved. I am now my "Farmers" right hand (wo)man, and yes, we are still best of friends, most days anyhow. I have learned to drive the tractors, disk a field, bale hay, herd cows, drive a semi-truck, and how to check the moisture in a potato field. All skills any girl would be proud to put on a resume', don't ya think? Farming is a business, but it is also,our way of life. Farming is what we do and we are very proud of it. I do feel very grateful for the life lessons I have learned here on the farm, and that is what I would like to share through this blog. My way of living life, the farm life, that is.
So, please come back, live a little farm life with me through my blogging adventure............
