![]() It was early morning and there was a strange noise coming from the kitchen. I got up to investigate and found the kitchen strewn with empty candy boxes, candy hearts and paper. Farmer Small was wielding a large pair of scissors. "Farmer Small, what are you doing?" "Celebrating Valentine's Day," he said. "Who is your valentine?" He gave me a look of confusion. "You're supposed to have a valentine?" "Most people have a special someone to celebrate with." "Just one person?" he asked. "Usually," I said. "Unless you are an old school Mormon." "But I love everyone!" That was a new and unexpected development. I decided to test it out a little. "Do you love the Grumpy Farmer?" I asked. "Yes!" "Ok," I said, "who else do you love?" He hesitated. "Does the dog count as a valentine?" "Of course,"I said. "Anyone else?" "I said I love everybody!!!!" he yelled. It could have been the candy talking. But it is possible that Farmer Small does love everybody. There is a big heart encased in his small plastic body. Happy Valentine's Day from your valentine - Farmer Small.
