Wabi-sabi (佗寂?) represents a comprehensive Japanese world view or aesthetic centered on the acceptance of transience and imperfection. The aesthetic is sometimes described as one of beauty that is "imperfect, impermanent, and incomplete".[1] Characteristics of the wabi-sabi aesthetic include asymmetry, asperity (roughness or irregularity), simplicity, economy, austerity, modesty, intimacy and appreciation of the ingenuous integrity of natural objects and processes. This is our wabi sabi life.

Tractor Smile
While this photo exemplifies the fact that a nice camera doesn't necessarily mean nice pictures, it also shows a Happy Farmer.
My dad, horrified that Andy and I were considering buying a tractor we could afford (an old clunker,) showed up and uploaded a really nice tractor the other night. He looked like a kid in a candy store. He looked like a child on his first bike ride. He looked like a girl on a pony ride, a baby on a swing. Check out his tractor smile. I love it.
And the tractor is super sweet, too. The Bank of Dad has great terms, which include a "pay me back when you can," plan. Perfect for poor, single income farmers like us.
Coming this Spring . . . 1,630 baby peach trees . . . farm life, here we come! I'm humming "The Happy Farmer," right now.
