So, earlier this evening I logged in to my blog with the intention of discussing my perfect wedding ring.
A bit cheesy, yes, but I had a good point.
Going back to my love for fashion.
Even though I am a farm wife I still appreciate jewelry.
And I adore my wedding ring.
It is perfect for our lifestyle.
And perfect for me.
Then I had to hit save and run up to the farm to help tarp down our last bunker of corn. Well, amidst the tarping I realized I still had my ring on so I moved over from the rather high ledge to remove it and what do you know it just fell right off.
Did I mention I was sitting in a large bunker filled with corn? Or that we were tarping in the dark? (PS. Click on tarping to see a video that has us tarping down our corn silage pile)
I definitely had an “Oh crap” moment. I casually asked my brother in law if I could borrow his phone for the light, he says “Oh, did you drop your phone? I’ll call it for you.” In a hushed whisper I say “Noooo, little bit more expensive…my wedding ring.” His reply, “Don’t move, I will go get a light…just don’t get up.”
We spent the next 5 or so minutes looking for my wedding ring, when I decided to go to the ground 12 feet below where I had been sitting.
Luckily, my wedding ring was sitting on the ground waiting for me!
So, tonight’s post was supposed to be a Wordless Wednesday with this picture of my perfect wedding ring that I took in the tractor earlier today, because it was just looking so irresistibly shiny and beautiful. With the intention of saying that when we bought it I was thinking of the lifestyle I was choosing, and a band with diamonds would be perfect.

Instead it turned into a Wordy Wednesday with a lesson well learned!
We have had to rent a metal detector twice to look for wedding rings in bean stubble!
Glad you found it!
Oh my goodness! My rings are kind of loose, and when I get cold they slide around. Maybe I should finally have them resized. Glad you found it!
I don’t usually wear my rings out in the field; my husband never does…too many accidents with fingers getting caught by the ring, BUT my diamond stud earrings are always in! Makes me feel a bit like Eva Gabor on Green Acres hee hee! Crap~! Now I had better make sure they are on tight the next few times I go out! Be safe out there!
This sounds like something I would do! My ring is a custom one so it fits tight at times, or too loose at times, depending on if I’m hot or cold. I’m hoping the wedding band will help even that out and keep it on better!
Happened last year to me so glad you found it. Maybe we need to leave them at home where they are safe.
I can imagine the panic that set in. I would hate to lose mine. Glad you found it.
