And what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.
Jeans, shirt, bandana, shit, I fed stock dressed exactly the same. But I damn sure wasn't as purty as she is! And that hat's on exactly right, and I'd love to be taking it off her...
Reminds me of when our little girl was about 5 years old. She got up early while it was still dark outside, and waited for me in the kitchen so she could help feed the stock. We’d stack the hay in the back of the truck and when we got to the pasture, I’d put it in granny gear and she’d drive while I peeled the chunks of hay off the bales and dropped them on the ground behind. She’s 33 now, and I have a three year old granddaughter taking her place. Life is good. Every day is good - just same days are better!
That young lady is way to nicely dressed to be feeing the livestock. IMHO this may be simply staged for the photo.
ReplyDeleteGot her hat on right anyway.

ReplyDeleteGregg: I be willing to put some money on the fact that back then you were not as well-groomed (clean) as this lovely young lady.
DeleteFeeding the stock or stacking the feed?
