    Happy 70th Birthday, Mary! Great picture of the 3 of you — both from 16 years ago & today. Hope you got to enjoy it without too many farm chores to do. Maybe out to dinner, yummy dessert, some shopping, whatever YOU love to do!

    Love your farm, your animals, your blog posts, etc. Keep up the good work! If you every stop this blog, I don’t know what I’ll do. I’ll probably need therapy for withdrawal!! LOL!!

    You look GREAT for 70!!! I’m 74 and it is a wonderful life. I work hard like you, as my husband has passed away and someone has to take care of the farm. I don’t have the strength/stamina that I used to, but I
    keep “chugging”. No children to help me either. Happy Day to you!!!

    Happy Happy Birthday Mary, have a wonderful day! 🎂🎂🍨🍨🎉🎉🎉. Yesterday was my birthday I was 73 .
    I so enjoy reading your blog and I love Reed and all he does with you. He is a special young man. I love seeing the farm but your weather is a Little scary. I live in Washington state we have lots of rain but not the storms and heavy rains you have.
    The corn growing is amazing.
    Enjoy your day with family and friends and have many more birthdays.
