This third-generation family farm is the foundation of who I am, it is where I grew up.

Usually the eagles sit in this tree. I was surprised to a see a heron there last night at sunset.

How beautiful is the sunset tonight…the grass is thick and soft, the corn is tall and the colors painted in the sky are heavenly.

My grandparents would host huge pig roasts at the farm back in the early 1980s.

I will be the first to admit that I am a book geek, farm kid and FFA nerd. The latter is one that my kids never leave alone - “Hahahaha! You were in the FFA!” For all the AG kids, 4-Hers and FFA members those years have memories that last a lifetime.
In my senior year of high school, I was fortunate to be part of our FFA nursery/landscape team. We first competed at the NYS Fair where we placed 1st. That earned us a trip to the National FFA Convention in Kansas City. Along the way we stopped in Chicago and went to the top of the Sears Tower, watched a surgery on a horse at an equine center in Louisville, climbed the top of the Arch in St. Louis and watched the famous rodeo in Kansas City. I still have the beaver skin cowboy hat I got there. We went home with the bronze medal at the National Convention.
What a great experience!!

Here’s a shout out to all the AG, 4-H and FFA kids! Keep the farming traditions alive.

We’ve become used to seeing committee of vultures, humph…a group of vultures is a committee. Anyway, there are usually 7 or 8 of them sunning themselves on the ridge of the old barn’s roof. That was until about 4 months ago when a single vulture came streaking out the barn, scaring the begeebers out of Steve on the mower, and we found out she had made a nest inside. For the entire summer, we have only seen her…perched in solitude protecting her baby or babies (we’ve been a little afraid to go inside and see). I hope her friends come back to her soon. As strong and stoic as she looks…she must be lonely.

In this fuzzy old photo from the 1970s is Burt (Burton) Colburn and a little Patti (I'm maybe 3 or 4 years old). He lived around the corner from our farm on Roosevelt Highway in the little hamlet of Kendall Mills and was always fishing and hunting. And he would take me fishing. (Maybe this fish was from one of those trips.) Now if anyone has known me for even a minute, I talk...a lot. In fact, when I was little my uncle once offered me $20 if I could be quiet for 5 minutes. It may shock you (or not) to learn that it was a bet I didn't win. How Burt tolerated not only taking a little girl fishing, but a chatterbox to boot, is beyond me.
Burton Colburn passed away on September 19, 1992 at the age of 87 and is resting at Lakeview Cemetery in Brockport, NY.

When I was a kid there was a gigantic wisteria bush in this very spot where my brother and I would sit beneath a play. A number of years ago someone cut it completely down to the ground. About 3-4 years ago I found a couple tiny shoots coming up through the grass and put the stake out to protect it in hopes that it would take off. Each year it has grown bigger and fuller. 😊 Just now I was sitting on the porch and looked over at it and saw something that made my heart smile…it’s first blooms in years!!

Dried and pressed roadside daisies. Harvesting what the Lord gave us.
