I was never in 4-H
It’s National 4-H week!!!Yeah, I was never in 4-H. Bam. Just like that “city kid” is stamped across my forehead in red. Don’t get me wrong, as a child I knew what 4-H was, but as a suburban dweller I always felt like it was a club that excluded me. Instead I was 4-H party […]

Bear with me here…
You might have noticed it’s been a while since my last post? I mean we’re talking somewhere in the ball park of 11 days of being MIA, but when I created this blog, I went in with the intentions of posting at least once a week. Well despite good intentions, and plenty of writing ideas, […]

September 11, 1982, in the First United Methodist Church of Okmulgee, Oklahoma, 19 year old Michele Darby married 23 year old Denny Beard. In my world, these two go by Mom and Dad.

Mowing in Muck Boots
Give me a tractor, I can operate it. Sure it may take me a couple of minutes to adjust to the various brands or different models of said tractor, but I’m pretty confident in my ability to run farm machinery. Push mowers on the other hand… foreign territory. Due to the drought my lawn has […]

An Ag Nerd’s view on dating, marriage, & babies.
Ag Nerds… I’m sure you’ve seen them. They are people who’s eyes light up when USDA releases new crop reports, those who can talk in vivid detail about the new iPhone app they just downloaded that brings EPD (Expected Progeny Differences) results right to them, or those who have ever posted or framed pictures involving […]

48 hours of Hot Southern Mess
Okay deep breath. Breathe in… and now out… That was mainly for my own benefit, but if any of my faithful readers are in need, I’m happy to oblige. I’m having one of those days, one where “Hot Southern Mess” should be stamped in red across my forehead. I think yesterday morning was the prelude […]
