Some fields on our farm I wish were 1000 acres by themselves so we could camp out for weeks just harvesting in that one perfect spot. We harvested my favorite field last night. Sitting there in the beautiful shade of old oak trees reminded me how every year when we harvest here no one ever wants to leave.
For the kids there are adventures at every turn. In years past they have built forts or climbed on old equipment parked out back. This year Auggie made a restaurant selling all sorts of delicious tree bark and grass straw main courses.
There was four wheeler riding, dinner eating, cold beverage drinking and even a dance performance on the old grain bin slab.
The next few weeks will feel like the Sahara desert compared to this. A lot more dust, more gravel roads and zero trees for shade.
But it sure makes you feel thankful for that one field, under those old oak trees, that you always wish could be 1000 acres.
