Sometimes Farmers Take a Day Off...

  Contrary to what many might think... especially those that know me... I do take a day off once in a while.  For the past week, we've had a very special visitor.  Our nephew, Michael, has come from back east to spend some time on the farm.  He's 13 years old and it's his first visit sans the parental unit.  We've had a great time!  I think the highlight for Michael was mowing weeds with the tractor and doing his part to reduce the weed population.  Especially the star thistle!

    We've thoroughly enjoyed every minute with Michael and look forward to visits from other nieces and nephews in the future.
