clueless...

since my first post i've been trying to think about what to write about next. i thought about getting mark to tell me one of his stories again and have him write a post with me, but finding that kind of time is near impossible while dating a guy who manages his own farm, helps out at his dad's farm, has a plastic welding business, works nights sun-thursday, is on the fair board, AND makes maple syrup on top of all that... and knowing me i'm prolly forgetting something.. oh like play hockey! it never ends, but its a life i've come to love. so since finding time to do that is hard to come by, i was left wondering what to write, untill i read the comment left by one of my newest friends jackie. she talked about being lost in this world of tractors and augers, and something else i didn't understand.... and well it hit me... i'm lost too. i've never been the type to not understand something, i pick things up very quickly. untill now... the other day mark was talking about something, and i was trying so hard to understand, and then i realized, i know nothing about farming. he was saying something about seading, and sowing, and well i just didn't have a clue. i know one day i'll figure it out, once that time of year comes around, but untill then i'll just listen and nod, and smile ever so sweetly. and hope to god, he dosn't ask me to go start the combine... ok ok i know what a combine is.... now. but thats only because mark took me to the rockwood santa clause parade, which is made up completely of farm equipment. you don't believe me? i don't blame you, i didn't believe him when he asked me to go. luckfully, everything had a sign on the side of it saying what it was, and who owned it. which i thought was extremely helpful, and kind of them, untill a lady standing near us noticed the signs halfway through the parade, nudged her friend, pointed to the signs, and said "hey look, its signs for the stupid city folk"... well i'm sorry missy, i am no city folk, but i just hung my head in shame. too scared/embarrssed to tell her that not all counrty kids know farm equipment.
