LIFE on the farm
if you've ever seen Linda square
dancing, you know it comes as
natural to her as walking does to the
rest of us
But she stepped on my
anyway
That can only mean one thing - I
was clumsy enough to get my big
shoe in her way
The truth is, I’m the world’s worst

dancer On top of that,
slowest learner
But I do enjoy going to a square
dance, especially when it’s being
held on a barn floor Although I’ve
only ever been to a couple of square
dances, it’s become so enjoyable that
the only “fancy footwork activity”
which 1 like better is soccer
foot
Linda sure looked surprised when
I’m

she realized she had stepped on my
foot In fact, her reaction is the only
reason I remember it
Good grief, after having been
stepped on oodles of times by 1500-
pound Holstems, what’s so bad
about being stepped on by a 115-
pound dark haired young lady 7 1 sure
wasn’t about to complain 1
Square dancing is fun
The last time we went square
dancing it was raining It was cold
and almost miserable outside,
considering it was only the middle of
October
But that made the barn feel so
much warmer and the hot chocolate
so much more delicious We were all
gathered as friends and we were
going to have a good time No one
could deny that we did We hopped
around in tune to the music and tried
to follow the instructions of the
callers
“Head couples chain across ”
“Shuffle forward, shuffle back,
shuffle across the railroad track ”
the
“Boys out, flip the pretty side in ”
“All join hands, circle left and circle
back the same old track ”
While the ram beat on the roof
above and the wind found holes
and cracks in the structure, the dark,
gloomy, wet night was distant in our
minds. We were warmed fun and

activity. And what better
place for it than a solid old barn floor
with a string of lightbulbs stretched
between the heavy timbers and
the scent of Summer’s crops pleasing
our noses Hot chocolate and cookies
kept us from running out of energy
Taking care of all the preparations
and arrangements for a square
dance is quite a job We’re fortunate
to have farm families who care
enough to keep square dancing an
important tradition of rural America
Life on the farm is better because of
it
