On the 10th day of each month, I take 10 random pictures. You get a chance to see the farm through my camera lense. Since June is Father's Day month, I decided to focus on dads..through the camera lense. It is impossible to fully capture the love of a father with a picture, but a picture can capture the moments of a father's life. “Small boys become big men through the influence of big men who care about small boys.” – Anonymous We had a calf this week. They are just watching and waiting. I love how much the boys mimic their dad. Isaac has been dying to pull a calf. He finally got the chance...and on his own cow. Anabelle would have been fine on her own. These guys just have a really hard time sitting by and doing nothing. Daniel is trying so hard to be a teacher. It doesn't come naturally to him. It is a conscious effort to slow down, show them and then step back and let them. Isaac loves his Papa, and his Papa adores him. Not every one is blessed to have a relationship like they do with their great-grandpa. Three generations. Working. Learning. Giving advice. The hands of a working man... ...that never stops. And at the end of the day... He belongs to Walker... And Isaac... And me. And he really hates to have his picture taken. A man’s worth is measured by how he parents his children. What he gives them, what he keeps away from them, the lessons he teaches and the lessons he allows them to learn on their own. ~Lisa Rogers In other news... Annabelle had a heifer. Our first heifer of the year! You might also like...

AuthorHello! I am Heather... the city girl turned mom to manure loving country boys. My husband and I both grew up in the city, but spent weekends visiting grandparents in the country. We are first generation farmers who learn best by almost always doing things the hard way. I hope you enjoy following along with our adventures down on the farm. Archives
