The work always starts early and there are not too many easy days. The smell of wheat is always in her hair. Her hands are strong and yet tender as she goes about her choirs. Her children are hearty, but full of life. She is in touch with the earth and finds happiness with dark dirt between her toes. Her husband doesn't say much for hard work is what he knows. Common sense rules his decisions, and his love is strong and deep, like a well spring from the earth. She enjoys a caring that most will never know. All of the things she holds dear, she helped plant and grow. To many it may seem a hard way to live, but there is value in such a life. It takes a special kind of woman, to be a farmers wife.
