Today's been a pretty gloomy one--even for a Saturday. The rain is falling, the soybeans aren't getting in the ground--oh, we're just one happy family today! (Just like most area farm families, I suppose.)
One bright spot in today is that the kids have been exceptionally good. Since dad has returned to the field, the boys have taken a renewed interest in their mini tractors. They tuck themselves downstairs in the small toyroom, lock out their little sister (for as long as they can get away with it), and "farm" alongside their train tracks. They have been playing "police" quite a bit, too.
The other day I told them to get back downstairs and play police nicely before I called the police.
"Ha, ha," they laughed, "We ARE the police!"
If that's true, we are in BIG trouble.
