Don't worry. This is a G-rated post.
I woke up yesterday to an unexpected surprise from Mr Farmer. He let me get up and start my morning routine. Then, out of nowhere, his gift appeared. The biggest, most fragrant, most beautiful bunch of roses I've ever been given. He beamed as he presented them to me.
I was shocked! Stunned! Never had he shown such romanticism. Was this really my husband? Had I ever really known him?
Mr Farmer has never been one to give gifts. Typically I pick out my own gifts and buy them myself and thank him for the money. So I never expected anything from him on this Valentine's Day.
I guess he finally heard my subtle hints for a gift of any kind, showing his love for me. I know he loves me, that has never been in question. It's just that sometimes I like to see visible proof that he thinks of me when we're apart, or listens to me when I drop hints of things I like, or that he appreciates me and what I do because I love him.
And now I know. I had him pose for a photo so I could look back on this perfect Valentine's Day and his thoughtful gift.
Now, where to put it. I tried the kitchen counter.
The night stand on my side of the bed.
And, finally, next to my easy chair. Perfect! Now I can smell my roses and think of him throughout the day, whenever I sit down and rest.
Now, now, ladies. He's taken. You can't have him. He's. All. Mine.
Way to go, Farmer Man. I can definitely see the pride on your face as you pose with this fabulous find. I know you will not divulge the source of these mystical, magical roses, so I will not even ask. My only question is, how in the world are you ever going to top this one? You have set the bar high, my friend.
ReplyDeleteQuit encouraging him! Now he will think this is acceptable behavior.
DeleteI WANT THAT MAN!!! I don't know why you have to be so selfish. You got more for Valentine's day than I did....at least you got a big smile.
ReplyDeleteHe told me it was the thought that counts. I told him I thought about having relations with him. It was the thought that counts, right? I just hope my thought was as good for him as it was for me! :)
DeleteI Love it Mr Farmer,No one cn beat that idea... You for sure are an original......Good choice in men Langela...You both deserve each other. :-)
ReplyDeleteWe're deciding which one of us got the better end of that deal. :)
DeleteActually, I got the good end, as I claim ya both! :-)
ReplyDeleteAwww, thanks! We love you, too.
DeleteLOL It must be a farmer thing because I got the same thing! LOL My farmer doesn't do Valentine's. But our anniversary is the day before so I can't complain. I wouldn't trade my farmer for anything and I'm sure you feel the same with your farmer!! But there are times that I'd like to give him just on little knock on the head. lol
ReplyDeleteHe's always been this way. He gets almost ill just walking into a place to look at something for me. He used to have a different position at the Case dealership where he works and the guys he worked with would basically do it for him while they were getting their wives something. Ahhhh, those were the days. One year I got actual, visible flowers, and one year I got a gold necklace. I guess those are supposed to carry me through the rest of our marriage. I can't complain too much, though, since he treats me so good the rest of the year.
DeleteI'll give you a little hope....my husband was the same as Mr. Farmer. He never bought me gifts, I just bought what I wanted and thanked him for it. Then my daughter grew up and left home, and now he calls her, she buys, and I get presents! Well, not for Valentine's day (I didn't even get a smile out of him), but for Christmas and birthdays. Daughters always seem to know what Moms want :-)
ReplyDeleteHe does try at Christmas to surprise me with one gift of his picking. He usually does a really good job, too. But for birthdays, anniversaries, and Valentine's I'm on my own. He is so good to me that I can't complain, though. I never want for anything I truly need and most of the time for what I want.
