FATHER'S DAY

I am not a real farmgirl. I am more like a 'wanna be' or a 'poser'. Now my dad - he is the real deal. He is a true farmer boy. Born and raised on an Iowa farm. Me - I was raised in the burbs.
Growing up I loved visiting my grandparents farm, snooping around the barn and begging to go down into the timber. I thought my grandparents had it made! So much of who I am today and especially what I value most comes from those 'farmer genes'. I can not begin to count all the ways it has influenced my life.


My dad's life journey is an amazing one. I know everyone thinks their dad is the best but seriously my dad is! Thank you daddy for shaping and molding me into the urban farmgirl I am today.

This is my dad. The back of the photo reads 'Howard and Pansy, 1941'. When I asked my dad about Pansy he told me pure and simple - he loved that cow. 


(Pansy's fate will not be shared on this blog)
