Make hay while the sun shines

Last weekend we went home to help my family bale hay. We have missed out on a lot this summer with my husband’s work schedule, so we were raring to go ;) Here are a few snapshots of our Saturday.

I drove a truck for a little while and had a little hay-hauling buddy, but she didn’t last long. Not even a full round around the field and she fell asleep. She woke up just in time for Mama, Nannie, and the other girls to come by with a snack.

Someone thought she had to pour her Cheetos into her mouth just like her Jakey did ;)  She thought he was doing a trick--not realizing his hands were dirty—and of course had to try it.

A flock of ibises stopped by for a snack in the hayfield too.

  1. Love these photos, Rebecca. We have a hayfield in front of our house. And when my cousin comes to cut and bale the hay, all of my children sit on the front porch and watch him work. Then they play on the bales til he takes them to the barn. Gotta love the country life! :)
    Hope you have a delightful week,
    Lisa
