The Rural Voice, 1993-08, Page 7Kind of spoils the enjoyment of a
treat for me to have to analyze
whether it's safe or to be feared.
Some real fears that farmers have
right now are also emerging. Will
the price of grain go up? We keep
our fingers crossed for a late frost
and a continuance of the weather
we've been having. When you're in
partnership with someone as
unpredictable as Mother Nature, it
makes the fears real if you want to
survive financially for another year.
Oops! While I was in la -la -land, I
missed seeing a hole. The back
wheel of the wagon dropped in and
the back half of the load teetered,
then toppled into the field, taking
Super Wrench with it. Naked fear
attacked me immediately as the many
forms of reprisal took ominous shape
in my mind. You know what? There
was nothing to fear. Once the yelling
and threats were over with, I still had
a job. So maybe it is true; we have
nothing to fear, but fear itself.0
