Yup the start of a new block looks good. You are so blessed to have the farm. I love the country life - not sure if I could EVER go back to the city life! I love the outdoors, but we are in the middle of a horrible heat wave and it has not caused me to limit my daily walk and that upsets me more than being pulled from a quilting project! Take care and enjoy all of your posts - especially during the summer months when you are farming! Hope he won at the Fair!

I think that for a lot of people with urban and suburban lifestyles, it's so easy to romanticize the "simplicity" of agrarian life and gloss over the work involved. <br /><br />Congratulations on your new grandbaby on the way! You must be so excited; it's amazing you can get ANYTHING done with that to look forward to!Rebecca Gracehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14801489818836195754noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1662530267747207868.post-71791688420925516982016-08-07T16:56:18.594-04:002016-08-07T16:56:18.594-04:00You are one hard worker.

If there are problems, I call him and he calls the appropriate help. Unfortunately, all tractor shops are closed on Saturday afternoon, so no help for the haybine. I'm on grandma duty this week; either to keep the 4 year old or else to take DIL to the birthing center until our son gets home. Thanks for reading my post!
