We do what we can do in the time available to us, and as weather permits. It's been a rainy spring in northern Illinois. The Harvard Milk Days festival has been going on, as an annual event, for many, many, years. It would seem the small town of Harvard is doing everything right to make for an attractive, and well-attended festival. Like the most successful of festivals, it is a three-day event and this year that proved to be a really good thing because of the many rainy days we have had.
It's all about the cows, of course. You can't have the type of milk we are accustomed to without cows. It was great to see these 4-Hers with their well-groomed cows.
These cows don't look good all by themselves. It takes a lot of TLC and hand grooming by their owners to make them look show-ready.
Here's Pat with an older John Deere tractor. It's a 1937 model, which is even older than I am.
And here she is with a new John Deere. This one is much larger, and much, much more expensive.
And here's Dave with a new, state-of-the-art John Deere combine. For what this machine costs you can buy a pretty nice house, a new car, a pickup truck and an RV.
Daughter Angel and her girls, Erika and Sabrina, came with us to Milk Days.
Here's Erika on the Giant Slide.
Angel and Sabrina riding the Tornado.
By the way, it rained before the afternoon was over, but not before we had some fun.
