The Farm Auction


Over the weekend I helped my in-laws at the auction of Floyd Nelson near Finlayson, Minnesota. Floyd had passed away in June of 2007. His loving wife, Carol, had passed three years earlier. Floyd was my wife's uncle. He was a good man, husband, farmer and school bus driver. He and Carol had no children, hence, they had no one to take over the farm so it was put up for auction. It was sad to see a lifetime of labor, possessions and memories disappear at the strike of an auctioneer's gavel. The song, "Ashokan Farewell" written and performed by Jay Ungar and Molly Mason.

That was very touching. I have delivered newspapers in the Finlayson Area for the past ten years now. I love all the rolling hills and old farms.

I spend my weekends near Finlayson and have a deep appreciation of those who work the land. This was a very nicely done tribute.

I loved this video. This video to me reminds me that Im only here for a limited. Not to hold my possessions too close but to help those around me because those acts are true assets.
