Farm days

Yesterday afternoon we spent a few delightful hours at Heritage Days at Minter's Farm. After our first experience last year, we were excited to return this year and we were not disappointed. The weather was delightful: sunny but not hot, with a light breeze.

There were, of course, lots and lots of vintage tractors including John Deere tractors (always a family favorite).


Aidan would have happily spent the entire time hulling corn and then grinding it - see the little smile in the first picture?

We had to practically tear him away from the corn to go and see everything else there was to see! Aidan saw several classmates from school, we got to scratch some donkeys behind the ears and feed some chickens. This year we actually saw the moonshine still, which we were told was only processing water. Right. What's the point of that?

Although there was no sight of Mullet Man from last year, the people watching was still quite good. And as we rode in a hay wagon back to the parking area, a woman noticed my Ohio State t-shirt - turns out she is also a fan. So there we were, surrounded by bubbas in their Georgia Bulldogs gear, happily talking about Buckeye football!

As with last year, a good time was had by all.
