.....But I have decided that we will never have antique farm machinery in our yard. I think those flowerbeds built around an old plow are really neat, and living on a farm for 21 years, I feel a connection to that life. My husband worked on a farm growing up. So we feel like we are farmers.
But I've noticed that the majority of people that have said farm machinery displays....aren't farmers. They're wanna-bes. The I-have-a-horse-and-an-antique-tractor-that-never-leaves-the-barn type. And that's not who I am.
So, lest I be associated with that type, I'll just stick to building my flower beds around what's already there.....
Weeds.

I was wondering where you were going with this, but I totally agree. I would name names on who readily fits "that type", but I'll resist the urge. And if you want to know my honest opinion - which you're going to get, regardless of whether or not you wanted to hear/read it - real farmers don't have time to mess with flowers. Granted, some farmers' wives like that sort of thing, but seriously. Flowers? Ulgh. I feel a mini-rant coming on...
