That's the one I was looking for! + an invite!

 

Alfalfa!

 

“That’s the ‘one’ I’ve been looking for!”

Dad joked when we tossed the “last” heavy-

bale of alfalfa-hay into the loft. I laughed.

 

He was highly intelligent, of quick-wit

and teased a subtle sense-of-humor.

Now that I-reflect on Dad, he was- “Cool”!

 

I enjoy hard, physical labor; always have.

 

Been mowing lawns since age-6; Mom & Dad

helped (a lot) but taught me to value-work

and find pride in any-job “well-done”!

 

I winter-fed those hefty hay-bales to the

farm-critters over snowy-cold icy-bleakness.

Horses, cattle, sheep, and more; fed chickens,

ducks, doves, dogs cats and one turkey name of “Tilley”

rescued by my sibling-sister from an animal-shelter.

 

Rode the steeds; played “Drown-Dad!”

in the rock-bottom creek with our girls;

had us a time or two; wish it to never-end.

 

Sure felt good at “end-of-day” when I

hefted Dad’s “one I’m looking for” last

heavy-bale into the loft - - -knowing

…the best was yet to-come.

 

Amen!
