A date with my wife

Went down to the farm this past Saturday with my bride. Kenny Ray away with Boy scouts this weekend it is the 100th year of scouts and they had a council camp out. We took my mother out to the opening ceremony as Kenny Ray was voted into Order of the Arrow . A special honor as you have to be voted in by your fellow scouts. After the ceremony took my mom back home as she has not been feeling well. Tari decide to ride down to the farm and spend the day just the two of us. We got down To Bainbridge about 12:30 and had dinner at the Timbers. After dinner

stopped and got 2 weeks of mail from the post office, we then stopped by the cemetery and visited Dad for a few minutes. At the cabin we sat on the couch and read" the Taddler" the Wolfe County news my home town newspaper. When a knock at the door startled us, when I got to the door it was Uncle Ken . We talked about 20 minutes when Tari's cell phone rang which was strange as it hardly ever works at the farm. It was Kenny Ray it seems the Boy scouts were canceling the last night of the camp out as they were expecting severe weather that night and early morning. He said they needed me back about 8 pm to haul the trailer back. Tari was nervous about getting back on time, I assured her we had plenty of time and asked her if she wanted to walk back and

check on my apple tree's that I planted a few weeks ago and feed the fish. My Dad feed the fish every morning after the water warmed up and now they only get fed when I get down. It just takes a couple of minutes for the fun to start after you throw some of the floating fish food in the water. The bluegills start first and the commotion brings the big channel cat's up to feed . They hold their mouths open and suck several pieces at a time and the slap their tail's on the water. We spent about half an hour feeding the fish and Tari kept telling me she wanted a fishing pole.

As we walked back to the cabin listening to the frogs croak and watched the blue birds settle on the fence between the bird house and us. The smell of the honeysuckle and rain filled the air. It was a much needed day for the 2 of us as I can not remember the last time we just held hands and talked and laughed. It seems that I all ways have some chore that has to be done.
