Learning early
There is no greater pleasure than raising a child on a farm. In today’s fast-paced society, children have missed out on the joys of simple living—playing games outside like kick the can, catching fireflies in mayonnaise jars and watching for the barn swallows to know spring has arrived. I am so fortunate to raise my daughter on the same farm where her great-grandfather toiled 60 years ago, where her grandfather grew a bumper tomato crop and her father learned the lessons of hard work. My little one enjoys the baby calves that start arriving in March, and helping her grandmother hoe in the garden. I caught this picture of my daughter just after she and Mamaw were starting a new row of corn. As you can tell, she is learning to pick out her own clothes and creating memories that will last a lifetime. Julie Farthing |
