Farming

I live in a rural area and today while traveiling down one of our back roads, there was a local family, consisting of many seperate families, bailing straw. They had taken a break for their noon meal. The wives had brought tables and lawn chairs. They had set up the lunch right there along side the road in the field. Little ones were sitting under the table to be in the shade. The whole family seem to be having a great time.
It was a very pleasant sight to see a family unit working and eating together. It brought those simple pleasures to the surface and made me think of how our fore fathers probably had similar lunches and suppers. It is refreshing to see families still working hard.
In these times, it is easy to let things like family values disappear. Thank goodness that there are still some that exist. It made me feel good and it has put a smile on my face for the whole day.
