Spring on the Farm, Wednesday, March 12, 2014

It Seems that SPRING might be on its way to Middle Tennessee

 

Once the buttercups start to bloom,

 the promise of Spring becomes a reality

Sure, we will STILL have several cold days ahead.

We have several MINI WINTERS...

some say we have 7, but I don't know...

Everyone you Ask, tells of a different Winter...

What DICTATES the certain Winter 

depends on WHAT is Blooming...

We have: Dogwood, Redbud, Locust, and Blackberry

In Middle Tennessee, Spring USUALLY means 

TORNADOES and Storms.... 

Spring works SO HARD to AWAKEN...

We Each encounter STORMS in our lives...NO ONE is IMMUNE

BUT it sure is EASIER When we

 LEARN to DANCE in the STORMS 

Before the month is over, the corn will be planted 

We will THEN start Praying that the WEATHER will allow our crops to grow to fruition...

We HOPE...We TRUST...We BELIEVE...WE PRAY...

THIS is WHAT I LOVE about Being raised on a FARM...

We have NO CONTROL over the weather...

We have NO CONTROL over the harvest...

WE have NO CONTROL over the prices...

 BUT we RELY on our FAITH...

We LOVE the Land...

We respect the Land...

We are CARETAKERS for the Land...

I AM GRATEFUL to have been raised on a FARM

I think it has taught me WHAT IS IMPORTANT...

I think FARMING has taught me how to treat people...

I think FARMING has taught me how to LIVE...

We did NOT have money...

BUT BOY, were we RICH!!

I am BLESSED beyond WORDS to have been RAISED by PARENTS who GOT TO DO WHAT THEY LOVED!

That I think is WHY my LIFE was so GREAT...

The BEST gift you can GIVE your family is to BE HAPPY!

Celebrate LIFE EVERY DAY~~Blessings to YOU...~charlotte♥
