Stem of straw grass hanging out the corner of my mouth. It's foxtails here. I've stirred apple butter off in a copper kettle in the yard and put pennies in the kettle to keep the apples from sticking. They come out looking brand new

I can remember my hard times in the early eighties. I was on my own and the first winter when I had started my own stone masonry business. The bank president called my father to tell him they were about to take my truck. The president and my father were close. My phone was shut off because I couldn’t afford to pay the bill. I came home one evening from laying a fireplace. My father was sitting on the porch of my house I was renting. He said son, “ are you in trouble?” I said no I’ll be ok. He said, “I went inside, your pantry is empty and your refrigerator is unplugged, Collins called and told me you missed your payment. Your phone is disconnected.” I took him on a tour. I was renting a house on a 1200 acre farm. I had 2-3 deer in the freezer. Don’t know how many squirrels, pigeons, and bass. 100lbs of tators in bins in the shed, 20lbs of onions. 50 mason jars of beans, 50 mason jars of Roma tomatoes. I thought I was living just fine. Used to hang my laundry in the family room to dry and humidify the house during the winter next to the wood stove. I really miss those days.

My 3 brothers and I would have contests off the porch! Amateurs! My brother and I had to sleep upstairs in a converted attic. No AC. We would turn on a window fan and sweat. Then the fan would feel cool. We peed out the upstairs window.

We'd gave a stalk of rhubarb for dessert after supper and a little dish of sugar to dip it in before you took a bite.
We'd get a big turnip a spoon and a salt shaker and eat that sucker. Nothing tasted better at the time. A We ate alot of raw turnips too. Loved them.

I would go out with my Dad with a John Deere tractor and hay bales on a wagon. He'd put the tractor in granny low at an idle while we'd bust bales apart and feed the cows while the tractor drove itself. Once a year we'd go down to the meadow and burn a brushpile and have a weiner roast. Dad would get a 6 pack of Pepsi in bottles and that's how much pop we got in a year. There were 6 of us so it worked out just right.

Over the years I have raised and sold ginseng. Raised bees for quite a few years. As a boy I worked on my dad's mink farm feeding, vaccinating, and skinning mink. Also worked for my dad who made a living seining minnows for many years.
