    Thank you for allowing us to peek in on your blessed life. I lost my father and mother a month ago I live on the family farm in Indiana now alone and it brings me so much joy and peace to watch your vlog and to remember my childhood with my father on the farm. Again thank you very much.

    You may feel there are things you take for granted - we all do. The most telling, touching moment in this vid is when you unabashedly welcome the life-giving rain. You are truly a country woman. There are faux farmers on YT who would curse the sky for dampening their day. Great vibes to you! Mike-DFW.

    Hi...I'm the new subscriber catching up on the old episodes I missed, and this one was really good...I laughed hard at the "band-aid in the fritters" confession...and was also very impressed with no-fear Merdie mashing the horse fly from hell with her bare hand. Did Lawrence hear about that? What did "the farmer" say?

      When I was in high school, late. 60’s a few boys and girls would go to the tobacco fields in Connecticut, yes Connecticut, to work in the tobacco fields. The fields were covered with acres of netting to raise the temperature a few degrees so the plants would grow. They said it was hot hard work. Pay. Average! I had farm work to do at home and never went. The old movie, Parris, is a good movie about the tobacco fields.

    I have never seen tobacco taken in that way. My grandpa and uncle then cousin raised it back when there was still money in it, but each stalk was cut, and a steel cone put on the end of what looks like a tomato stake, and the stalk was pressed over it about 4" or so from the base, and slid down, and that one stick would hold about 6 stalks. We had about 6-8 people cutting stalks and one man spudding them.... sticking them on the wooden stakes. Once the field was done, then we stacked them in the wagon, then back to the barn, and my uncle would climb up inside to the top rail, and we would feed them up to him to hang so they could dry. I have just never seen it done the way your friend does it. Working in tobacco is HOT work.
