Always work to be done

Winter time around the farm seems like a slower time of year, right? Well, most farmers would say NO.  After row crop harvest and tobacco harvest/stripping/barn cleaning, the guys and Scott clean, put away and make homes for all the equipment not needed over the winter months.  During this time, the shop becomes our home away from home.  In this case 200 yards away from our house, we are blessed by the closeness in distance where our farmer works. 

Now is the time of breaking equipment apart, fixing what was broken during harvest and revamping old equipment into new again.  The girls and I run in and out, mostly to say hello or just get out of the house from working.  Its loud, sometimes stinky and just plain boring to the normal folks.  But to us, its a place of adventure, dirt and grease, and time to be with family. 

This day above Scott was working on putting new hubs on the semi trailer, or something to that effect when I asked.  I love days like this when I can sit and watch him work, the kids can play or ride their 4-wheerler or bikes, and momma can just bask in the aroma of grease.  Not what I dreamed of at the rip old age of a newly wed wife, but I wouldn't change it for the world!!! Just another day in the life of a Farmers wife!
