Dad finally got to take us to the farm today. I was very excited about going in the morning but by the end of the day I was almost wishing I didn't have to be there. I was beginning to feel the heat of the blazing sun and we didn't take along enough water. There were a few flies that were buzzing around close to my ears, and when I took a rest during lunch the ants and ticks were crawling all over my arms. I haven't noticed yet if any ticks found a sucking spot.
Overall, I would do it again but. . .
I can be asked to plant the seeds and I would gladly do it. Ask me to clean out the weeds and I would do that too. However, when it's time to harvest and the weeds have formed a sort of carpet over the plants, don't really expect me to hunt for the beans.
What makes me so glad today is that I didn't come in close contact with any scorpions. I only had a spider crawl up my leg but I noticed it just in time and I was quick to shake it off.
Also, while hunting for bean stalks through the vines, I noticed a bird's nest. I took a peep inside and saw the tiniest winged creature! I thought it was hungry since it kept opening it's beak. I hope Mother Bird got some food for it. Instinct was telling me to take the camera today but I ignored it. If the birdie is still there when I go back on Monday to finish harvesting, I will make sure I get a picture.
