"In them old cotton fields back home"






Wayne suggested that Wendy and Carolyn take their kids to the cotton fields for some photos. Wendy didn't get around to it, but Carolyn and Brent got the little girls all dressed up in matching outfits and took some cute pictures. Wayne was anxious for me to get them printed so he could take one to the gin for their bulletin board. When I picked them up and showed them to him, he complained that they hadn't done them the way he wanted. I asked him to explain and he said he wanted them to get way back so it just looked like a field of white. I said, "Oh, so you wanted a picture of the cotton, but it was okay to have the kids in it, too." He backtracked a little...but, I think that's exactly what he meant. The cotton did look really good this year. He got most of it picked before the rains set in. It's been raining just about every day for the last 10 days or so.
