Well, Mother Nature has other plans for Saturday!

With some nasty weather expected, we've made the decision to cancel our October 10th Pop-Up Market at Denton Grange.

We're disappointed we won't get to see everyone, but safety comes first. Y'all stay safe and dry out there!

Fall color doesn’t have to stop at mums.

Ornamental peppers, seasonal foliage, and other cool-weather favorites can add unexpected color and texture to porches and containers.

Sometimes the most interesting fall combination is the one that breaks the usual rules.

So my brother Andrew was born to work on things…

We really should’ve known when we were kids. Every ride-on toy, bicycle, or pretty much anything else we owned eventually got taken apart, modified, or “improved” by Andrew.

The rest of us just wanted to play with it.

Andrew needed to know how it worked—and apparently whether the people who built it knew what they were doing. 😂

Fast forward a few decades and not much has changed. His toys just got a whole lot bigger and considerably more expensive.

Farm equipment broke? Andrew.

Truck acting up? Andrew.

Needs welded, wired, rebuilt, fabricated, modified, or rigged up enough to finish the field? Andrew.

And somewhere along the way he became our A/C guy too, because when it's 95 degrees outside and the combine A/C quits, suddenly air conditioning becomes the most important component on the entire machine. 😂

His actual job description at Steele Farms is questionable at this point.

Farmer. Mechanic. Electrician. Welder. Fabricator. A/C technician. Engineer without the paperwork. And professional fixer of things the rest of us have already attempted to fix and probably made worse.

But looking at old pictures like this one makes me realize there’s another side to it.

We grew up following Daddy around this farm, probably not realizing how much we were learning while we were doing it.

We didn't know then what our places here would eventually look like.

We didn't know that the little boy who couldn't leave a bicycle alone would one day be the man we'd depend on when a piece of equipment went down in the middle of planting or harvest.

That's the thing about growing up on a family farm. Somewhere between riding along, watching Daddy, holding a flashlight, handing somebody a wrench, and probably being told “don't touch that,” you were learning.

And one day you look around and realize we're not the kids following Daddy anymore.

We're the ones helping keep this place going.

Andrew just started practicing a little earlier than the rest of us. 😂

Turns out he wasn't tearing up all our toys.

He was getting ready for the farm that would one day depend on him. ❤️

You don’t have to know everything about plants before you walk through our door.

Jacquelyn wants people to feel comfortable asking questions, whether you’ve gardened for 30 years or just bought your first plant.

Real guidance from a real farmer is central to what Denton Grange was built to offer.

I debated posting this picture because everybody knows you don't brag on farm equipment while it's running good. That's just asking to work on it tomorrow. 😂

To be a farmer, you have to have faith. A WHOLE lot of faith.

But apparently you also need a working knowledge of 47 superstitions, 12 weather signs, and enough sense to know when to KEEP YOUR MOUTH SHUT. 😂

Don't work on Sunday or you'll spend Monday fixing what you tore up.

Unless the ox is in the ditch.

And before you use that excuse, somebody is absolutely going to ask, “Was the ox actually in the ditch… or did you push him in there?” 😂

Don't start anything on Friday that you can't finish.

Don't brag on a tractor, combine, or truck that's running good. That's basically scheduling tomorrow's breakdown.

If it rains on the first, we've already decided it's going to rain 15 days that month.

Thunder in February? Watch for frost in April.

Fogs in August? Start counting them. That's apparently how many snows we're getting this winter.

Heavy acorns? Bad winter coming.

Woolly worm extra black? Bad winter coming.

Thick corn shucks? You guessed it. Bad winter coming.

Ring around the moon? Weather's changing.

Leaves turning their undersides up? Rain's coming.

Cows laying down? Rain's coming.

Frogs hollering? Spring might be coming… but don't trust them just yet.

And then there's the persimmon seed.

Spoon. Fork. Knife.

Apparently the National Weather Service has been wasting a lot of money on satellites when all they really needed was a persimmon tree and somebody's pocketknife. 😂

And whatever you do, NEVER stand in a good-looking field and say:

“Boy, this crop sure looks good.”

SHUT. IT. DOWN.

Why would you say that OUT LOUD?! 😂

By golly, hail will be coming, the combine will start throwing a code, a tire going flat, and a 90% chance of rain starting approximately 30 minutes before we're ready to cut.

We'll pray for rain, pray for a safe harvest, pray over the crop, and trust God with every bit of it…

but we're still counting August fogs, cutting open persimmon seeds, and refusing to compliment the equipment.

That's not superstition.

That's just good farm management. 😂🚜🌾

This one time at band camp…

Who am I kidding? I’ve never been to band camp.

But once upon a time, we used to rollerblade up and down Central Avenue like we owned the place. One of our favorite stops was a neighbor’s house that had the BEST rollerblading driveway around—smooth concrete, no cracks, no gravel. Basically the interstate of driveways when you were a kid on rollerblades. 😂

We loved stopping there for more than the driveway, though. They were always fun and talked to us like we were little grown-ups instead of little kids.

And apparently us little grown-ups had a slightly questionable sense of humor…

Because one day we found a dead squirrel.

Did we leave it alone like normal children?

Absolutely not.

We sat that sucker in their swing like he was just out enjoying a nice afternoon. 😂

And of course we took pictures to remember it by.

Years later, I still have the photographic evidence. 🤦‍♀️😂

Rollerblades, no cell phones, questionable decisions, and enough freedom to end up posing a dead squirrel for a group photo. 😂

Monday update: I have officially survived the Harvest Coma. 😂🌽

Mother Nature FINALLY came through with some rain this weekend, and apparently my body had been waiting on that exact moment to clock out.

I ate this meal like it was my last supper, sat down on the couch—and that was all she wrote.

I didn’t go to bed.
I didn’t decide to take a nap.
I simply sat down on the couch and woke up 14 HOURS LATER. 🤣

Got up, used the bathroom, ate a doughnut, sat back down…and went right back to sleep. 🍩😴

Woke up later, did basically the same thing, and went back out AGAIN.

Apparently harvest exhaustion had been keeping a running tab, and the minute Mother Nature shut us down, my body said PAYMENT DUE. 😂

The combine gets greased.
The tractors get fueled.
The trucks get serviced.

Apparently I require rain, a last-meal-sized steak, an emergency doughnut, and an alarming amount of unconsciousness. 🤣

But it’s Monday. The Harvest Coma is officially over.

Battery charged.
Doughnut consumed.
Warning lights cleared.
Operator returned to service. 😂

COMBINES… START YOUR ENGINES. 🌽🏁🚜

Harvest 2026 — next round.

Because apparently Mother Nature only called a timeout, not the game. 😂

There’s something special about doing business where people know your family, your farm, and sometimes what you drove in high school.

Denton Grange grew from the same West Tennessee community Jacquelyn grew up in, and those hometown roots still matter to us.

Every visit, recommendation, share, and conversation helps a small local farm keep growing.
