Just another Saturday out on the farm, although this Saturday was a bit different because there wasn't as much typical farm work. Pop's is a retired farmer, although for all you that know "retired" is just a word and that they really never do quit. He has slowed down and doesn't run the farm ground, but still puts up hay and has cattle. My sister and wife often wish dad would just stop, but they also realize that having stuff to do on the farm is also what keeps him going. Pop's is a little busy with hay this time of year and in his mid eighties, doesn't have a whole lot of energy, so the yard work got a bit behind. We were able to get some of that caught up for him on Saturday, as he is usually on top of things, he really likes driving his JD riding mower. Got must everything mowed up for him, did a lot of trimming, hauled out a trailer load of branches. Moved a few cows, changed a couple of tractor tires -- tossed some burgers on the grill --- may seem like little things, but often it's that type of thing that Pop's appreciates the most because it just helps him out.
Until next time!
