Shortly after graduating high school, I developed a skin condition on my scalp. I will forewarn you that I'm going to describe it, after the jump...

Guess Who Is Coming To Live With Us...

Here are a couple hints: they're two-legged and come in all different colors, shapes and sizes. 

 

They have feathers.

Have you guessed it yet?

Happy Spring!

What are you lovelies up to for this first weekend of spring?

 

Honey and I are going for a hike tonight to look for sheds. No, not the little buildings (which is what I use to think he was referring to). Male white tail deer shed their antlers every year around mid-January. This means that in early spring after the snow starts to melt, you can find the antler 'sheds' laying on the ground. I found my first one last year, it was ridiculously exciting and now I, too, am hooked on finding them.

 

In the mean time, here are some links from around the web:

National Agriculture Day

It was brought to my attention that National Agriculture Day was celebrated yesterday. Oops! One would think that a farmer's wife would know an important fact like that. Shame.
But, this whole farm world is new to me. Everything about it. I grew up completely ignorant of the farm world. I mean, I never even noticed the giant tractors sitting in the fields until my husband and I started dating. I couldn't have told you what a soybean plant looked like. And I certainly couldn't have told you what words like 'combine', 'commodity', 'cover crop' or 'bees wing' referenced.

It's been such an amazing journey learning everything that I have in the past couple of years. Whether its tilling, planting, harvesting, hauling or one of the bajillion things that need to be done in the meantime, I get to learn firsthand from my husband what it means to be a farmer. It certainly takes a special kind of person.

One day last year, his grandma bought this print for him. She said it reminded her of him, and I think she nailed it. 

Here's what it says...
