I know just how you feel. It has been a little over 3 years since my Mom passed away and almost 30 years since my Dad died. DH and I were talking earlier about the things we did in the fall of the year. It was hard work but we were all together and had so much fun. We put up hay the old fashioned way--hay shocks thrown onto the wagon and put into the barn by pitchforks. Digging potatoes and putting them into the cellar for winter. I loved seeing all the cans of veggies lined up and waiting to be enjoyed.
