June-HARVEST-Ride in your BIG GREEN TRACTOR

One of the things that I have always said that I love about Cody is the fact that he hails from the country. He is so down to earth and has this very laid back approach to life. I don't think he is laid back b/c he is from the farm, I think that is due to his "golden boy" complex, but I do think his genuineness, and good-peopleness is from the farm lifestyle.

I have enjoyed Harvest since he took me out for my very first one in 2003. I don't know what was funnier, his dads face when he saw me in my Abercrombie jeans (paid for them to look worn) and my American Eagle "Proud to Farm" white baby tee or Cody's reaction when I asked him to stop and not run over the baby rabbit running under the tractor.... either one, I will never forget my first time out.

Another thing about Harvest is the way this family does Harvest. I am all for kids growing up and leaving home to pursue their own dreams and lives, taking that leap away from their roots. But it says something about a family's character, when they all know when to come home and the role they play. This family works like a machine. It is like they can read each other's minds and know what to do next. Like they have performed the same operation over and over again that they know it like the back of their hand. With Cody and I setting up shop the furthest away, we don't get back as much as we would like, but when we are there, the experience still amazes me.

Here is a bit from Harvest 2009-Norwich, KS USA
*Cody's sister, Kristy, was not there this particular night so I don't have any photos of her and her kiddos, but they do exist and they harvest as well
