Your post brings...I'm sorry about your sister.<br /><br />Your post brings back memories that I'd almost forgotten. I used to feed the chickens by shucking corn when I was growing up on the farm. Love your farm stories and photos!Cheryl @ TFDhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15947085477739983984noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3679123700391465393.post-12154928426605156212011-09-12T07:32:23.574-05:002011-09-12T07:32:23.574-05:00You have my sympathies, too, regarding your Sis. ...You have my sympathies, too, regarding your Sis. <br /><br />Hey, DH did pretty good capturing the 'real you', Glenda. And that is -- at work! Wow. Great to see you AND Willow in the same pic. Loved seeing your flock of hens. I also saw (in the background) that things aren't very green there and your trees seem to have lost a lot of leaves. I hope the weather turns for you soon. Wish I could send some of these clouds your way.Krishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17822528453563683772noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3679123700391465393.post-30098303903393550012011-09-12T06:38:13.808-05:002011-09-12T06:38:13.808-05:00Loved this post Glenda!

I talk about 'Glenda' so much, my husband knows who you are too!! We are at that stage of our lives that going to nursing homes is part of our life, my Mom and now Jerry's Dad. Hard-hard, but they need the care only a nursing facility can provide. Interesting that you milk like that, but the platform kind of dictates the way you have to milk. I would think a low stool would be harder for me anyways. My grandparents grew corn for the chicken too. Give it a few weeks and when the first cold night hits, they will come running for some corn! Have a good day Glenda...Joy Tiltonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04183952085695405635noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3679123700391465393.post-19862571680326844452011-09-11T14:48:41.694-05:002011-09-11T14:48:41.694-05:00That's some cheesecake pose Annabelle is in! ...That's some cheesecake pose Annabelle is in! Was the bull watching? Heh.<br /><br />Sorry about your sis. Try to think of her when she was herself. I hope that's how people will think of me when I start losin' it. Sometimes I can't get my memory to work very well and that scares me a little. <br /><br />I never saw anyone milk like that. Mom always sat on a stool, leaned forward, put her forehead on the cow's side and talked to the cow, or sang, while she milked. It seemed to form a bond between her and the cow. <br /><br />You are skinnier than me.

Glad you were ...Sorry to hear about your sister. <br /><br />Glad you were able to enjoy some of the cooler weather we've been having....too bad there was still no rain with it though. It's dusty, dry and crunchy here. Horrible Summer.<br /><br />And I agree; it's nice to put a face to the blogger! Especially in the middle of barn chores....so now we know you REALLY do all those things & just aren't making stuff up! ;)Carolynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14436557172029575513noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3679123700391465393.post-6950606152857411292011-09-10T15:43:23.454-05:002011-09-10T15:43:23.454-05:00I went throught the same thing with my sister and ...I went throught the same thing with my sister and was always depressed for days after visiting. <br /><br />That's the way we always fed the chickens when we lived on the farm. We always had a corn crib and we'd grab a few ears to feed the chickens.Grannyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13687590785527530194noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3679123700391465393.post-63562817905122277302011-09-10T11:20:12.020-05:002011-09-10T11:20:12.020-05:00Dear Glenda ~ I just love those shots of you doing...Dear Glenda ~ I just love those shots of you doing your farming chores. I feel like I'm right there, with you, your cows, your chickens and wonderful flower beds. <br /><br />I wear colorful tops like yours, they are what I look for at thrift stores. Pants are either blue jeans or khaki or long skirts, in plain colors.<br /><br />I am sorry about your sister.<br /><br />Thank you for the wonderful little walk around the farm. I thoroughly enjoyed it.<br /><br />Hugs ~ FlowerLadyFlowerLady Lorrainehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17678852154334714784noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3679123700391465393.post-86670674795582611322011-09-10T10:55:18.101-05:002011-09-10T10:55:18.101-05:00I like the photo of the bull too.

An Amish girl and I milked 75 head in the mornings starting at 4am. They had another crew milk at night. Of course they had the automatic milking system. Good Times.<br /><br />DH asked me what I wanted for X-mas the other day. I asked for an apron ;)Tamihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06597093453934852571noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3679123700391465393.post-83845755562011303122011-09-10T10:30:27.695-05:002011-09-10T10:30:27.695-05:00Nice to put a face to the author!!

Sorry about your sister but like you said, nothing can be done, will come to us all eventually and I am not looking forward to it!!<br /><br />Love the different colors of your chickens-neat photo of them clustered together. Annabelle is colored up very nicely-pretty.<br /><br />Loving the cool, nice weather. Went to flea markets with my oldest daughter and my sister yesterday. Stopped and visited with my older brother for awhile-nice day.Bev J.https://www.blogger.com/profile/18075881108883630511noreply@blogger.com
