Sunday was a Farm Day!

That's a million dollar smile right there. Money, baby. Seriously, though, my parents are precious....

At first, I thought this picture was really adorable, but after looking at it, it's slightly inappropriate. Donna! Shame, Mother!

My parents....with some attitude. I like it. Emily, I think this is pretty classic!

Joshua decided that he wanted to smoke a chicken for dinner, but then he and Dad left to work on the fence, leaving Mom and I in charge of the smoking. Dad told us to "open the hatch and put more wood in when it stops smoking." So, we did that....about every fifteen minutes or so. Apparently, that option may have been a bit excessive because the chicken was black. It still tasted pretty good. After a long day of work on the Farm, we had some blackened chicken and talked cows!

Mashed potatoes...yummy.

When Grandad had his garden at the Farm, he rigged a hose watering system complete with a faucet from the catfish pond (about 300-400 feet from the pond). He buried the hose to keep it from getting cut by the tractor blade. We decided to try to find the faucet on Sunday. It was a bit like looking for a needle in a haystack....

The boys found it! Of course, the water is coming down the hose to the garden from the pond. Looks like we are going to need a water pump to restart the water system...
Marking the path of the hose down the hill with stakes, still trying to find the faucet!

Look at Mom with the rake! She is such a legitimate farm girl!

Frank has his son-in-law doing the heavy lifting in this one!
