This was made for my Dad's Birthday. A long time farmer, this is his Season. After he retired his big garden took the place of working in the fields with Fall Harvest. But his heart was always with farming. Watching Farmers drive by with the Big Wagons of Grain (here it's Corn or Beans)
taking it to the local Co-op Elevator to store or sell. It was hard to move from the farm and into our little town, but another Chapter ended and on to the next. Conversations are always about Yield, Weather and is this year better than the past year? The new technology, has the older generation amazed and unfamiliar with what is really happening out there. BIG, BIG, BIG. Better? I don't really think so.
Spellbinders Pumpkin, and Leaf dies were used, Cuttlebug EF's on the Pumpkin and Tag, Distressed Ink, some brown felt ribbon and a few fibers at the top. Inside the Pumpkin
has the Sentiment, Stampabilities "Happy Birthday", and Daily Bread's "Dad"
I know he'll enjoy it..at 88 anyone stopping by to spend some time and share a few memories is on the "GOOD PEOPLE" list. Kinda sad though this year, he had problems taking care of all the garden products and decided it is time to plow it under...Tears and Work it is now turning to some beautiful thick grass and on to another chapter of a "good life" with less work.
I will enter this into the following Challenges:
Stamptacular Sunday Challenge #78 "Seasons Change"

We are having a beautiful fall day...color changes taking place, leaves rustling in the breeze and my visit with Dad to day...."there's a chill in the evening air, and getting dark much earlier" .
Enjoy each minute...be thankful for what you have, and tell someone you love them each day.
