Work begins at dawn. There are animals to feed, water to fill, wood to haul, stuff to get done BEFORE getting ready for the town job.
This is dawn (daylight savings time, October 31, 2008), right out our backdoor, just as we are heading out to do morning chores.
Eggs anyone?

One thing about farm sales it is a great place to socialize, even if you don’t buy. Of course if you do buy then it is a great place to find something cool.

I live on a farm in Colorado, the western side of Colorado, called Delta.
Farming, as a way of life, is fast disappearing in western Colorado, due to farms being sold to developers/subdivisions.
Therefore, I decided to share with anyone who was interested, what farm life is/was like in my lifetime.
I can honestly say that I now understand what the American Indian felt like as he watched his way of life disappearing!
