    Hi! I'm a farm wife, mama to two and coffee addict - raking my way through life on the farm, inviting you along. I believe all of our stories matter and that they all relate more than we think.
    My husband, two children and I work and live on a beef cattle operation in Milton, NC on the Central NC/VA line. No two days are the same around here and I use this vlog to show the good, the bad, the hard and the rewarding we find in this life. If you like what you see, I'd love for you to subscribe and tell a friend who might enjoy, as well. This community is growing and I love interacting with you all.

    Just a small confession....I found ur channel ~ 2 weeks ago, been binge watching and I'm now addicted. It's one of the best on YT....Second...I want a hat....let us know when they're ready....And the song 'Beer Can Chicken’ reminded me I haven’t done that in a while! Stay real!!

    My Dad was an old timer, and stickler about leaving hay on the ground- we had a dump rake, and had to go over the field to get all the scatterings! Couldn't leave corners, had to mow every piece of grass standing, no rounding the corners

    My grandpa was bailing hay one time. Had an old wore out pair of Bob overalls on. He went to step over the PTO while it was turning and those old overalls got wrapped up in the PTO and was ripped right off him. Grandma said she'd never forget seeing him walking down off the hill in nothing but a white T shirt and his tighty whiteys.

    Thoroughly enjoying, love haying,always have, from cutting to baling, thanks for taking us along, you do so well, except maybe almost knocking the farmer down, but you're a valuable partner in the entire operation, whenever I'd be gone for the day on hay, I'd bring my jug of ice water, lunch and tools in case something broke, wonderful memories, no wonder you're smiling the whole time, oh, and I like how you looked back and forth, at the rake, so many channels they have their head facing the camera, NEVER looking back, thanks AGAIN

You speak from your heart. It the simple things in life that we should cherish and you do a great job showing it. Being humble is something you don't find much of in people these days . Remember, the Lord shines down on the humble farmers wife. Thank you for opening your gates and making us welcome to your life. My fingers tired now. Lol.thanks.

    I'm glad to see that you didn't pull those earphones out of your bag and use them. I worked on a Horse Farm making their hay. The farm wife couldn't ride on a tractor without listening to music and you could hear a piece of equipment coming apart on the other side of the field but she was oblivious. Headphones and Equipment don't mix well even from a safety aspect.
