Dear Baby Bird,
In the morning, we headed down to the Fischer Farm to ride
the combine. We had to walk through the plowed field to
find the combine & cart. Even the
plowed field was quite an obstacle to hurdle for you.
Brother had his turn riding in the combine helping Arden fill the cart. Then, Daddy & Brother rode together in the combine for a few more rows. Lastly, it was your turn to hop inside and check out the cabin.
Farming corn in Iowa has been in the Fischer-Heiserman-Hoth family for 180 years! Still today, there is hardly a farm in Delaware, Clayton, or Dubuque Counties that isn't a descendant of your German immigrant ancestors.
In fact, Grandma and Grandpa grew up on farms nearby. They take pride in the traditions of farm life.
The next few days, you kept insisting... "ride combine 'gain?" Someday soon...
Love,
Daddy & Mommy
