Sundays on the Farm

Ok, I know today is Monday, but I didn't have a chance to post yesterday. Sundays on our farm are the one day we are all actually together...good or bad. Dean works 6 days a week either in the field or doing maintenance on machinery. He does not have a 9-5 job which has its pros and cons. During the down times on the farm, we have quite a bit of flexibility and more time to do things during the week if we need to get away and do something like shopping or sight-seeing when places aren't as busy!

We attend church as a family every Sunday, unless somebody is sick, then the well ones go. Dean does not farm on Sunday. I think there has been one time he worked on Sunday since we have been married. We often take a drive to do a "crop tour" at some point in the afternoon or evening. This helps Dean see different fields to know if the weeds are dying or the crops are coming up after being planted. We need to figure out the best time for this since at least one of the kids usually falls asleep! If we go after dinner, they may be awake and done with a nap before we get home, which means we don't get to relax! We want a nap or relaxing time, but the kids don't, like usual! Most of the time, we have to take turns if we really want some rest or sleep!

That is a simple overview of our Sundays on the Farm.
