I've been meaning to post a few more of the "Lazy Farmer" cartoons but lately have not had the time. Seeing as this is a rainy day I thought this one was appropriate. He makes a lot of sense about the rain clouds. Once the rain starts to fall, the suspense is over. I don't have to stand out in the yard scanning the sky to try and decide if I dare dump the couple of thousand dollars worth of herbicide into the sprayer tank in hopes the rain will hold off long enough for me to spray it out on the crop . About 3 hours. Yes, when its raining I can park the machinery and concentrate on other necessities of life. The weeds will keep on growing but theres nothing I can do about it , for now anyway.
I like the philosophy of this old lazy farmer but never seem to get around to putting it into practice. Too many things need doing and time passes quicker with every year so I can hardly keep up. Although I am planning to adopt his laid back lifestyle once I get a little more caught up in my work.
Disclaimer.......any resemblance between this cartoon lazy farmer and
The Real Lazy Farmer is purely co-incidental and in name only.
He sounds pretty wise to me!
ReplyDeleteMy blog name is a shameless ripoff of this cartoon. I've been unable to find them in the used book stores in my neck of the woods. I'm going to have to go down in the basement of the old farm house and look under the fruit jars. i think we lined the shelves with Oregon Farmer stockman newspapers back in 1976.
