My latest email from the Miller Farm

<em>PLACES I NEVER THOUGHT I’D BE…</em>

<em> </em><em>In a feed store parking lot next to trailers full of cows waiting for my chicken feed</em>

<em>Standing two feet from thousands of bees while filling a waterer</em>

<em>And the latest addition:</em>

<em>Laying under a car in my driveway wearing a Vera Bradley floral apron while holding some piece of the car up while Beekeeper Brian puts in bolts.</em>

<em>I wouldn't trade my life for anything, which is good since nobody else would want it ;-)</em>

The following reply arrived from my other daughter (who takes her children to Miller Farm on field trips) minutes later …

<em>One question:  why were the cows waiting for your chicken feed????? LOL</em>

<em>I know three kids (OK, 2 1/2) who would take your life any day of the week...we had a blast!  </em>

<p style="text-align:left;">A short exchange this week, but one that raises a great, thought-provoking question: Would I trade my life?</p>
<p style="text-align:left;">My answer: Not for all the tea in China.</p>
<p style="text-align:left;">YOUR TURN: How would you answer?</p>
