With Chance gone someone had to cut the hay and since Dad and Jade were too busy I got to do it! I had never done it before and it is very different from driving a field cuber. It took me a little bit to get the hang of it but once I did I LOVED it! I hope they will let me do it again next year. The kids got to go with me a lot and here are some of the pictures they took while they were playing on my phone. I took a few of them too-something about the noise puts Dalton right to sleep!
Had to take a picture of the old potato pit. Not much left of it but I sure have some fond memories there.
Dalton and Syd are building a 'camp' out at mom and dad's office. They love to play there. Don't call it a fort-they get really mad!
If you look close you can see a whole bunch of lady bugs on the front of the cutter.
It was mesmerizing to me to see the birds hunt. As soon as they hear the cutter they all flock to the field and sit on the wheel lines and fences. Then as soon as I hit a mouse or critter of some kind they swoop down and grab it with their beaks. It is crazy to watch. One day I watched a hawk get a snake and take it back to the wheel line to eat.
Lunchbox pillow? Comfy!

Nothing like being out in the tractor looking at the new mowed hay and being in the sunshine out in nature. (not that I experienced driving the tractor cutting it) but I sure used to love looking at the fields after the work was done. Looks like Natalie is very comfortable with this life style.
