Mary's Meanderings

What’s something you miss from the old days?

I miss working on the farm. I wake up before the sun and go for a walk outside in the fresh air… imagining that I’m going to do hog chores. I do kettle bell swings at the gym… imagining that I’m tossing square bales. I hike in the woods, jumping from rock to rock… imagining I’m jumping from board to board in the rundown barn. I paint canvases… imagining I’m painting siding. I swim at the pool… imagining that I am swimming across the top of the corn in the semi truck trailer. And when I shower after my swim… I imagine that the corn from the combine is being loaded into the trailer from the auger… raining down like a shower. I till the garden… imagining that I am digging the fields for planting.
