It's actually raining tonight (6/24/08) as I write this, but it's been a busy 10 days of making hay. This is my handsome, TALL son, Erik, after having raked hay all afternoon last Friday. He and Grandma Sharon were "arguing" over how to rake the field. He said, "So, I just raked my part my way and she raked her part her way!"
They kinda like to tease each other and bug each other. Hard to tell who wins...probably nobody! As long as Grandpa can figure out their windrows we are doing fine.
A well needed rest tomorrow with this rain and on to more hay-making later this week.
It's hard work, but it often reminds me of the story of the grasshopper and the ant - who worked hard to put food away for the winter. (The grasshopper was off goofing around all summer - singing on tour or something.)
When it came to winter, the ants had plenty to eat, but the grasshopper didn't have any food - I guess that going on tour thing during the summer only sounded like fun! :)
