Fields

My Dad used to talk about a farmer being a "man outstanding in his field".  So, I guess this is me being outstanding in a field as well.  With a doll of course because dolls are important accessories for every occasion.

A few years after this picture was taken our family rented a farm house for a couple of years.  The farmer wanted to live in town but still worked the farm.  I loved that place.  We had cats all over the place, a dog at least some of the time, cattle ponds to swim in and ice skate on depending on the season and fields everywhere.

I don't think I'd actually want to be a farmer--too much to do and no days off.  But, I sure loved the space and lack of people right next door.  It was wonderful to look out the window and just see land and sky.  Empty space is a wonderful thing.
