Haying with the horses

 
 
 
 
 
 
Earlier this week, Andrew did some haying with the horses.

 Day one doing it at a neighbor's place.

 Day 2:   First cutting on my dads field.
It was a hot day out. Ruthanna and I brought water out to the field. 
 
Marty even tried his hand at mowing with my dad's team. He made a couple rounds.

Well, we have a helper in the house...Ruthanna is able to open drawers and cupboards and pull everything out.  She's quick and able to get across the house in a flash!

Here she is emptying the bottom drawer that has her baby food, spoons, utensils of hers, etc.  She remembers it, because when she comes in the room she heads that direction.

Andrew's mom and brother came for a couple of days last week to visit. We had a bonfire one night and roasted marshmallows.  My parents and Marty came over too.

We went for a walk and checked the corn one day.

Andrew and his brother Phil used the log splitter and split a bunch of wood.
Ruthanna loves to ride her rocking horse.
