Getting Dirty in the Cotton Patch
Sorry to say my husband and I did NOT get it on in a cotton patch. I know, you were expecting some juicy details weren't you?
Well, unless you count the cows we saw trying to show us how it's done that's all the juicy details I have for you. ;P

After working on our house for a few hours, B and I went out to his cotton fields on Sunday to see how the new picker his dad has was working. I'm pleased to report that it's a fabulous picking machine. It even bails the cotton for you. Speaking of awesome farming technology, it's crazy how far we've come since the days of planting fields with a horse and picking cotton by hand. Cray cray!!
Astro had a fabulous time out in the fields too. For some reason he seems to mind so much better when he's in unfamiliar territory. Lucky for me I didn't have to go chasing after him or raise my voice scream-at-the-top-of-my-lungs to get him to come back to me. I'd be more than a hot mess and even worse, sweaty. Oh who am I kidding, it's flippin' hot here in south Texas, so I'm always hot and sweaty. Ehh, but what's new?
Happy Wednesday, folks!
this is so cool!! i would love to go cotton picking, and the cotton all rolled up in those huge rolls very neat
ReplyDeleteBeautiful photos! I love that shot of your pup trotting through the cotton. It is amazing to think how far technology has come since the days of doing things by hand.
