We Got Honey, Honey.
Do you remember: " Honey, Honey" By Abba???
Well, I grew up with it, and poor Bob got to listen to it tonight for the first time. But, I bet you wonder the connection between ABBA , our farm and honey. We have bees on our land, and we get honey as payment. There you are, it was simple. Now I WANT extra speakers on the trucks, so I can dance as I load bales, in cut off shorts and a sports bra. Quite the sight, it is a normal thing in Norway, so get with it, is my attitude. The neighbors do not slow down any more, so they have gotten used to it. The first years on the other hand, well, I bet it was the talk of the elevator.
Here comes "Dancing Queen" over the speakers, and I can see Mathea and I out in the fields, just having a blast. Who said farming have to be boring???
All our animals got hay tonight. Bob has the night off, due to Labor Day. You do know that the rest of the world celebrate this May 1st??? So I am used to working in the fields this day. You make hay while the sun shines!!!
Mama Mia, here we go again, with plans for haying. I am sure you are tiered to hear about it, but we have a few acres of this crop, and more we will have from 2013. Sorry, but it is hard to write in English/ American, listen to Swedish music from my Norwegian child hood. It is fuzing. So "Take A Chance On ME"
Thank you for your time.
Marte, with scribe Bob in the back ground.
