The National Weather Service has issued a Winter Storm watch for the Kornfield County area starting tonight and going until Wednesday at noon. It has been reported that we could get as much as 8-9 inches of snow! Shawn Cable apparently told my Sister in law that the Holabird metropolitan area is going to get anywhere from 10-16 inches of the white stuff. All you Readers with calves on the ground could be in for it!

Ever since I saw the Dodge Truck ad on the Super Bowl, I've heard both yeas and nays about it. Critics of the ad range from those who claim that the hardest work a farmer ever does is walking to the mailbox to pick up his government check, to those who claim the ad only tells half the story. First off, I can tell you that Farmers work very hard, and not just because they get a check from the government. Anyone who says otherwise never worked for my dad! As for the other critics, here is my attempt at telling-the Rest of the story:

After God made the farmer, he saw that it was not good for the farmer to be alone! He needed a helper, someone to open every gate, watch said gate and close it-so God made a farm wife

He saw that the farmer needed an extra pair of hand to milk cows, help pull a backward lamb, and pull his tractor out of the mud when he gets stuck-so God made a farm wife.

He saw that the farmer needed to have someone to fix proper food after a hard days work so he didn't sit on the sofa and eat cheese puff all the time and keep the living area as tidy as possible, to let a newborn calf cold and wet from snow come into her kitchen and then with a tear in her eye help throw it on the rock-pile when it dies-so God made a farm wife.

He saw that the Farmer needed someone to keep a flowerbed to brighten up the drab and dreary yard, and keep the kids busy enough so they don't get into trouble-so God made a farm wife.

God made a farmer and a farm wife to kick-start the Earth into existence. He didn't make a banker, a lawyer, or even a politician, because he knew that even with a wife, they couldn't make his creation all that he wanted it to be, but a farmer can-with a little help from the Mrs., and now you know the REST of the story. GOOD DAY!

God be with you and do the best you can!
