John Lennon’s “Imagine” has been in my mind lately
Imagine there’s no heaven
It’s easy if you try
No hell below us
above us only sky
Imagine all the people
Living for today
Imagine there’s no countries
It isn’t hard to do
Nothing to kill or die for
And no religion too
Imagine all the people
Living life in peace
You may say I’m a dreamer
But I’m not the only one
I hope someday you’ll join us
And the world will be as one
Imagine no possession
I wonder if you can
No need for greed or hunger
A brotherhood of man
Imagine all the people
Sharing all the world
You may say I’m a dreamer
But I’m not the only one
I hope someday you’ll join us
And the world will live as one
The thought of a world with out war interests me. The things that people kill and die for are beyond me. I was raised in a world of love and acceptance, so to hate enough to kill a person is tough to think of. Yes, I believe I could kill to defend myself or another, but not for a belief.
Yet John was a dreamer, our world will never be with out passions of some kind. The struggle for food, home and to pass on our genetics is ingrained into creatures of all types. A world with out struggle will not work, but it would be nice.

After nearly half a century of farming you would think I had done everything possible on this place, but not so. Yesterday I did something new, I got stuck in the mud while spraying, twice.
Getting stuck is not something you want to do. It’s hard on equipment and it’s hard on the crop. Usually I’m quite cautious, waiting until conditions are “right” until I venture into the field. With all of the rain and wind we have had this month, I took the first chance and went out to spray, it was not pretty. I did manage to get most of the fields that “Have to be sprayed yesterday” done, but there is more that should be done soon.
Todays forecast is windy with a chance of rain. If we can avoid any large showers the fields should actually dry out. Tomorrow may actually work out if things go right. So, I’ll wait. I will get the job done, years of experience tell me that is so.
