Hay is done... just in time:)
Well, we baled 219 bales today. Brooke and I handled the trailer and stacking at first while Jeremy made sure the tractor and baler were all working properly and didn't need any more adjustments! Then, I got to drive the tractor (but I think it was hotter in there than outside), while Jeremy and Brooke loaded the first trailer. Halfway through, we hit a bump (wasn't even going that fast) and off went a bunch of hay and Brooke. She's fine - just hit her leg on the corner of the hay wagon on the way down. But, she got right back up and helped restack everything! While trying to help, Lyndsay says "potty". I checked her and she didn't even have a pull up on - when did she take that off??? So, we had to trudge all the way back to Dad's house and get her a pullup, take off the wet shorts, make sure the insides of her rubber boots weren't wet and leave her in Curt's care in the shade, playing with toys at the picnic table! We had already taken a break for lunch, so when we loaded the first wagon with 109 bales, we took it home, put it in the barn, got the neighbor's wagon, left Curt and Brooke at home cuz they went to their Dad's this weekend, and headed back with me driving and Jeremy loading the trailer. We took a much faster pace and finished around 7:45pm with 219 bales total. Not too bad for 4 acres! Our 15 here at the property that we planted this spring should be ready to bale for the third cutting this year. They say you can get 100 bales per acre per year so that should be interesting! Hard work, but rewarding! We have fun working together, bruises and all! Builds character, I hope:) We came home, took clothes off the line, put another load up, got cleaned up and went to dinner! Lyndsay fell asleep on the way there and slept all through dinner and is now sleeping in her bed! Hope she doesn't wake up in the middle of the night starving! So, now I am off to put a boy to bed that doesn't like to sleep alone when Curt is gone... poor Isaac! I let him sleep with Erin and Missy when Brooke and Curt are gone! So, off to 3 open houses tomorrow and hopefully the rain will be gone before I leave the house! Have a great Saturday!
