PS...

I guess I should mention that in the midst of all the wonderful activities that farm life can bring to our lives: watering, feeding chickens and rabbits and turkeys (responsibilities); collecting eggs; mucking out coops; harvesting the garden and putting all that great food up for the winter.......we went camping for the Labor Day week end!

We didn't see as many wild animals as we did last year, but we ate over the open fire, slept on the ground in a tent (Hmmm. Maybe that's why my back is sore? ?? Nah.), fished, watched a black bear look for huckleberries on the side of a mountain and REALLY enjoyed each other's company.

We were being a family.

Outside.

Away from the phone.

No ball practice.

No laundry.

No homework.

No patients.

It was glorious.
