Harvest of Gold 2011

The last ear of corn has entered the rotary combine and the golden grain separated and sieved. Harvest 2011 is history. The year began in flooding and has ended in a drought. I and the ten year old hauled wagon loads of soybeans to the elevator and shagged wagons hither and yon. With the crop in the grain bins, I breathe a sigh of relief and say a prayer of thanksgiving that we went through it all safely. Farming is a game where the farmer gambles on mother nature and depends on a benefecent glory solely by faith. So much can go wrong and so often it all turns out right. The rhythm of the seasons is a wondrous thing. I am grateful for many unpredictable and tangible things. No wonder the Plymouth Rock settlers inspired the Thanksgiving holiday. Peace everyone.  :)

I just noticed this blog had a comment....blast it! I am software ignorant and I hate that. Hopefully I will improve but I am always playing some game that distracts me from studying the website conventions. I will send a note to you if I can figure out how to find you. Gracias for your comment....never expected one! lol

glad the harvest went well this year. My uncle farms potatoes with a spring summer and fall harvest. I used to help out on the spring and summer ones when I was younger. I have a great appreciation for farmers because of that, mostly because farm work is definitely NOT easy. on a side note, I dig reading your blogs when they appear, but they'd be noticed a lot more if you added an avatars pic to your profile. generally if there is no avatar pic people tend to believe the blog is a spammer's. there are tons of stock avatar pics on the site to choose one. here's how to go about it in easy steps. 1-go to "your account" in upper right hand of screen 2-click on "change info" in the orange tool bar 3-go to select avatar from gallery 4-find an avatar you dig and click on it 5-go to the bottom of page and click on save avatar. 6-you're done if you want to upload your own avatar just be sure to resize it to a 90x90 thumbnail pix you can also post a blog header and do a blog background if you'd like to personalize your blog even more. you can do this by going to "your gamer profile" on the orange toolbar after clicking on "your account" in the upper right hand part of the screen. good blogging and Happy Halloween.
