Wouldn't it be wonderful to have been a wealthy 18th century Aristocratic tobacco farmer in Virginia?
Maybe and maybe not. Read more to find out that the farmer was faced with everything form love to bad weather to tobacco worms.
A TRIP TO THE BARN---
When they made it to the ground, Joseph picked up her skirt and handed it to her. "I wish we had a big pile of hay. I've always wondeered how it wold be to have a young lady in the barn with a big pile of hay."
"Joseph Borden, you're too much." Carolina gave him a little shove. She walked out of the barn with her skirt in hand hoping that Dolly was not watching. Joseph was behind her, laughing all the way.
A BOUNDRY DISPUTE---
"No Sir, as you can see, the property line runs just the other side of our harvesting, and I'd appreciate your not hitting Wren," Carolina responded. This remark along with the whack on the arm infuriated Thomas. The very idea of her telling him where the property line was and how to behave. Striking him on the arm didn't hurt, but it was demeaning to a man of his position.
UNEXPECTED WEATHER---
The rough river water began lapping up over the floor of the raft, and the deck became slippery. It was becoming almost impossible to pole the raft with any accuracy. Ligntning sparked the sky and temporarily blinded those who looked. Joseph lashed the tiller so it would not swing about suddenly and cause the raft to careen. The end of lash ropes were whipping wildly in the wind and striking everything in reach
LIKE A BOLT OF LIGHTNING---
Joseph stirred in his sleep as the thunder grew louder and louder. Suddenly he sat straight up in bed. He had heard a loud noise. It shook the windows and jarred the house. His jolt of adrenalin had made him acutely aware that something was not right. He listened intently for an indication of what was amiss. Sensing no immediate danger, he thought he would go downstairs and check everything, so he lit a candle from the coals in the fireplace.
