I've never been to a farm auction and bid, only hay auctions. And so when I was there yesterday bidding, I found myself doing the same thing as I do at hay auctions. Pretty funny I suppose. I arrive early and make decisions about exactly which lots I want and how much I'll pay. I get very focused and serious, and if anyone bothers me and my thinking, especially when bidding is nearing the lots I want, I tell them to stop talking and go away. Haha! No, I don't actually say that, but people get the hint somehow. When I bid, I stare right at the guy who is acknowledging my bids and just keep my eyes on him the whole time until the bidding is over. I never look around to see who is bidding against me. No idea. None. Don't care either. But I'm sure yesterday, that I was bidding against Amish. 95% or more of people there were Amish and it was an Amish property. I got there and walked up the driveway and almost turned and went home. All I saw was a sea of dark clothing and straw hats. Men in blue all around the bidding and women in blue and purple and black bonnets, standing in rows like a choir up by the house, not moving or talking, just staring straight ahead. Here comes me, a female in jeans and a bright yellow rain jacket and farm boots up to the knee, and nothing covering my head. I felt horribly out of place.

Today's Featured Article - Show Coverage: Journey to Ankeny - by Cindy Ladage. We left Illinois on the first day of July and headed north and west for Ankeny, Iowa. Minus two kids, we traveled light with only the youngest in tow. As long as a pool was at the end of our destination she was easy to please unlike the other two who have a multitude of requirements to travel with mom and dad. Amana Colonies served as a respite where we ate a family style lunch that sustained us with more food than could reasonably fit into our ample physiques. The show at Ankeny
