There's that old-fashionedness to the tale that makes it seem like a long time ago when, in fact, growing up on a farm is more of a timeless experience....<BR/><BR/>Farm life is so very different from suburb life, probably because the things we need to keep a semblance of civilization in what feels like a giant chicken coop just aren't needed on the farm. When there are tasks to be accomplished before nature makes it impossible to do them, who needs an X-box?Tish Grierhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15657229618222899908noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7260692.post-1133565856097691802005-12-02T15:24:00.000-08:002005-12-02T15:24:00.000-08:00I'm not a writer, but if I were, I'd wish to write...I'm not a writer, but if I were, I'd wish to write as you have here - just beautiful.

Living on the old homestead with Mom brings back many of these "once upon a time" memories. This year my SO and I have tried to bring back the days of old. The smiles on Mom's face is worth just as much as the old memories. :) Thanks for sharing your trip down memory lane.Joannehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04722780868620942044noreply@blogger.com
