Well folks, you may have wondered what happened to us. We are at the mercy of dial-up internet so we have been out of touch for a while…But, we are having fun on the farm.
Cristian has learned how to rake, haul hay, and repair pivot bridges. He is also making a box to channel the grain as it comes out of the silo. He has a cute farmer’s tan.
I, on the other hand, got sick when I tried to swath hay, got sick when I tried to haul hay, and have finally settled on conquering my mom’s stack of pictures that have been piling up since 1976. It is also very beautiful here, so that is nice.
Merayla LOVES the outside. She climbs up on the rocks and picks Grandma’s flowers. She throws rocks around in the driveway. She has great fun moving piles of cut grass from one location on the lawn to another under the back porch. She has also discovered how to blow dandelions and how to play in the dirt. She is especially cute on the trampoline because she loves to try to jump. One day, in fact, I was watering the flowers (with my back turned for not more than five minutes) and turned around to see her up on the trampoline all on her own! She had actually managed to climb the ladder and avoid the springs and was just sitting there looking proud of herself! She is definitely our constant source of joy.
