    Not a ton of farming going on this time of year so we've been catching up on book work and enjoying some family time. Things will pick up in the next week or two when we start to prep for Harvest!! Be sure to head over to our second channel "Between The Rows" where we will have several videos coming out over the next few days!!

He’s on his way ! Great upbringing ! You told him to do something and he did it but of course, it’s partly because it was something he wanted to do ! *grin*. Hope you both had fun !

It was a pecan tree that was over 100 years old that as a kid we stood under that tree every morning to catch the school bus. They came and looked at it and told the land owner that it was a historic tree and forced him to leave it alone. It was on the very corner and didn't take up any room and would not be in his way and made him leave it. The land owner was supper mad but the tree still stands.
