Hay Day





Yesterday we made hay. That has not been very easy so far this summer, as the weather has been very rainy and cool. That is VERY cool, especially to our family, so recently transplanted from Alabama. Today is July 3, and it has been raining and in the sixties all day! Like everyone says while they are laughing at us, "welcome to western PA!"

Anyway, Jason and Mr. Dearborn were able to prepare two wagonloads of square bales, and Jason's Uncle John rolled twenty-something round bales for us, too. These pictures are of the unloading of the square bales into the barn. We had a lot of help yesterday, from family and neighbors. That is a nice thing about a farming community--everyone helps! That is Jason's brother, Brian, loading the bales onto the elevator.
I am also including a picture of Mr. and Mrs. Dearborn. Mr. Dearborn grew up on this farm, and ran it until he sold it to us. He has been out helping every single day. I don't think we could operate very well without him.
