That's just some of the chores we had. You wouldn't believe other stuff we had to do!
Every spring we had to walk the fields and pick up large rocks so they didn't mess up my dads farm equipment.
90 + acres at that time. In the hot sun (my sisters and I wore our bathing suit tops to get a tan) we walked along behind a tractor with a trailer and threw the rocks in there.
Hours and hours. We did take turns driving the tractor for a little break. We hated that job!
Thank goodness when he purchased another 400 acres I was out of the house and he didn't have us kids to do the rock scavenging.
He was a real disciplinarian!
I could go on and on and bore you to death. Its just stuff I don't think is interesting enough to write about for a story.
