More catching up

Before we went to Texas, we were able to partake in the King County farm tour festival. This was so awesome! All these farms around Seattle open their gates and land to visitors so you can see how the farm is run and what kind of practices they use. We visited about four farms and had a really nice time as a family.

We spent some time doing this:


And this:


Of course a hay ride was in order and the highlight of the day for all the boys:


One of the farms was really geared towards kids. They had an antique tractor for kids to climb on:




A sorghum maze, a bean tepee, and a gourd tunnel for kids to explore:




These farm tours are so much fun for me but also heart wrenching. I want to have some land of my own so badly. I see these farmers with their sun browned faces, rough hands, dirt under their fingernails, mud stains on their carharts, and my heart just cries out- "I want to join you and become one with the land too!". I know that my time will come and I will continue to hold to this hope that someday I will have a farm of my own. I just don't want to be too old of a lady. I want to be somewhat young and able when that time comes. Anyway, there's a little piece of my heart for you...
