Happy February 81!
Another day, another blizzard…at least it feels that way here in Nebraska… I bet all those geese that made the migration are wondering why they left the tropics so soon. Even puppy prefers to sit on the deck and wonder about the strange weather. The irises are bravely following the calendar instead of … More Happy February 81!
A Farmer’s Prayer (or Rancher’s Prayer)
Dear Lord, I don’t ask for too much A happy family, rain, & such But there is one thing I’d bring to your attention So small, hardly worth a mention That someday, when the land is paid And our hair is gone or grayed That, when we’re done with our turn on the land It … More A Farmer’s Prayer (or Rancher’s Prayer)
