I know I have joked before about being a Harvest Widow, about solo-parenting over the big harvest season. Five and a half weeks on and we're still not quite finished, just under 500acres of Lupins to go and they're not liking the heat!
We gets snippets of time with Muddy Hubby here and there, a quick lie down next to him while he drops in for a sleep for an hour, a quick trip in the truck as Muddy Hubby pulled onto our road just as the bus pulled up after school, a brief chat while he loads or unloads the truck or we help shift gear.
Then on Sunday we had a few uninterrupted hours with Muddy Hubby, we made the most of it, heading into the local pool and playing in the park, getting takeaway Chinese and eating as a family for the first time in weeks. It was lovely, quality time to soak up Muddy Hubby before he headed out to slip in some sheep work.
Awwww, precious moments!

I'm so glad you got to have some hubby/daddy time! Thanks for growing our food!
ReplyDeleteAwww that first photo is adorable. That's awesome you're fitting in some good, quality family time Nat. It is so hard to do at the best of times, let alone when you've got as much as you guys have got going on. Hope the rest of the harvest goes well xoxo
