I shamelessly stole this from Liz's Facebook page Photo credit is hers |
You get the local paper and read the Farm Side this Friday, the photo above is what kicked it off for me. I had been struggling to find an anchor for the annual Fonda Fair column, and this was it. Shazam!
Lamb in the living room |
Here is the original story of the little lamb with Peggy. My heart just skipped when I saw this shot of the two of them, wandering over at the Ag 2000 barn, no halter, no lead rope, just love to tie them together.
That kid has worked all summer with that little lamb that had such a rough start and it shows. I have many doubts that there will be any ribbons involved in this adventure, but who needs them anyhow when there is so much fun to be had?
Farm kid, right at the heart |
And you know what they say about apples? Liz was six when this photo of her unloading her first show heifer, Sonora, at the fair, made the front page of the paper. Meanwhile, back to the keyboard. Deadline looms....
A few years later... |
"It followed her to school one day" comes to mind.

ReplyDeleteIf only more American young people could experience the richness and challenges of your dear family's rural life. It'd be a much better world.
ReplyDeleteJan, oh Heavens! Wouldn't that be funny!
ReplyDeleteJoated, I am glad her mama always has her phone so she doesn't miss these moments.

Cathy, wish you could see the kids over at the fair in the ag barn. Very capable for their ages.
