Yes I was raised on a farm and it is normal to shear sheep, put hay in the barn, drive a tractor, pull a wagon, go on vacation around the hay mowing, can green beans, have a garden, make salsa, freeze sweet corn, chore, and well you know stay at home and work and get things accomplished on a daily basis. The house chores are not always the most important and laundry and dishes are a must to keep clean the rest... well it just falls in place!
A couple of Fridays ago, we sheared sheep in the morning, and put square bales in the barn in the afternoon evening!! Wow by 9:30 we were ready for bed and we felt like we had things accomplished!! It is amazing to me how I reflect on the morals and work ethic I was taught by living/working/ be raised on a farm!!
You are so right! You were (and still are) a very hard working farm girl! I was raised in town but still had garden & went to farm grandparents and helped with the hard work. We are so proud of you all and know the kids are learning lots from it - Love, MOM
