Work


April 15, 2012
Congratulations to Dan for getting all the corn planted.   So quick and so early.   You should make a bumper crop.

When I was a youngster there was a farmer that had a peach orchard on the other side of the tracks from our farm.    I worked for three days for him picking peaches one fall and then I quit.   I quit to go to the county fair where I took my livestock .    (I was younger than in this picture.)



I remember this short job because he paid me for 3 days work and I think that is the only time I ever worked for anybody else.   All my other work has been for myself or for the farm or on commission.    All I can remember is the 3 days of work in my lifetime of so many years.
