It has been a beautiful day here. The temperature was up in the 80's, so we opened the windows. We're also in the middle of the harvest, so we had combines and tractors hauling wagons going up and down the street all day. Farm equipment is noisy. It has made conversations and listening to the TV or radio a challenge, to say the least. One of the farmers once apologized for his difficulty hearing, and explained he'd spent too many hours on a combine. I believe it.
For the most part I love living in Tiny Village. There are pieces of it, though, that are less enjoyable. Last week, when the weather first warmed up, one of the farmers spread manure on his field. We couldn't open the windows that day. Then there are the flies. We have a large turkey operation and a large hog operation right outside town.
But there was a beautiful sunrise this morning, and a grand sunset tonight. We have unobstructed views, and I think that those are worth the minor annoyances.
