Re: Taps
I expect the view was captured previously. Although it has not changed much.
No one can hide these days. Well, I suppose one has to have the address. I think
one has to keep working if one is used to doing it, or one would become chair bound.

Re: IPat
Yes, Pat Strawberry picking:, tough on the knees. A lot of strawberries are grown off the ground now. I don't like the old-fashioned way one toilet stuck at the end of the field.

Re: Good morning Sherri

Good morning
Hoeing is hard work, and now I am suddenly hungry for some mashed potatoes.

I know the tea in the lap and the wait for the chair to dry must have been
frustrating. I can so identify with the potato pickers. Worked a few summers picking strawberries at five cents a quart, crawling along on knees soon caked with dirt. Not as heavy a load on the back as potatoes, though. You write so clearly I can see the picture, the old tractor, the boys leaning into the weight...

I can remember my sisters and I picking potatoes from my Dad's garden. I also remember picking greenbeans and tomatoes, when I was young. "Ah, woeful when!"

I looked down on you today from up above. All your trees were leafy green, your gardens, the roof of your house, the wall...but I didn't see you. I was thinking about you and wondering if you were working too hard. Once you sent me "Chumpit" and I kept your address, I looked up your address on google maps and there you were, or at least your property. I liked your blog today.
