~ FAMILY TRADITION ~

Uploaded: December 10, 2009

Description


Back to the archives!!!
I'm rewinding to wheat harvest!
This was taken in June of 2008.
Not your typical family portrait,
but we are not your typical family.
We are a simple farm family that
farms the land of many generations
before us. Never seeming to have the
time for a formal or even an informal
protrait with all family members.
Heck, we can't even get together at
the same time and place to take one.
So...this is as close as it gets!!!
The lead combine is driven by my son...
the second combine unloading on the
grain cart is my father-in-law. The
grain cart operator is my brother-in-law
and last but not least the furthest
combine in the line is my husband.
Our intentions are to keep this land
profitable and going strong..for the generations to come.
(re-worked and re-submitting to MT)

HAVE A WONDERFUL DAY!!!!

When I go driving on the Palouse and come upon a scene like this, it stops me in my tracks with its majesty. And, for you, this is priceless. #8205698

Neat shot. I know you would never mention it, most people have no idea how much money is on wheels out there going across that field. For those of you who don't know and reads this, IT IS A LOT. Your Wheaties didn't come cheap #8205798

An excellent theme entry, Jeana! This is a beautiful rural scene, and typifies living on the land! I was born in country like this, and I wish my parents hadn't moved to the city!
I'm with Linda, this should be framed!
