Sometimes all Dear Farmer does is build things. He builds barns, chicken pens, brooding houses, fences...the list goes on and on. Today, Dear Farmer built his wife shelves for her bedroom closet (consequently his closet also). It was a marvelous thing! She put on her shelves ONLY things that belonged to Dear Farmer and herself. There are no school supplies, no children's clothing, no sewing projects, no tools...just winter clothes, summer clothes, and sheets for their bed. There's a lot of room in this closet! This is the first time Dear Farmer and his Wife have ever had a closet, in twenty years of marriage! This is a luxury! (ALMOST as good as chocolate!)
Now, don't get down on Dear Farmer! There's a reason the closet has taken so long...here's the reasoning:
When the pioneers moved to the westways the first thing they did was build safety for the animals...those were the lively-hood of the family! Well, the cows have the hay barns, the chickens have their pens, the tractors have their garages, the children have their closets and beds, he's built the woodracks, and bookshelves, now...it's the Wife's turn. Last year, for their anniversary he built her a bed. This year, for his birthday...he built her a closet.
Isn't Dear Farmer wonderful?! The Wife thinks so.
