...to the farm.

What would a summer be like on the farm with out working in the hay? I almost missed out this year but lucky me, I got in on the last load of hay for summer 2007. You might guess that I don't like working in the hay and you would be right. For some reason hay is just not my thing. I would rather gladly pull weeds, or work on the fence, or herd cows all day before I work in the hay. This last time it was just me, my dad and my uncle. Usually we have a whole team of maybe 5-6, but this was a fairly small load and very last minute. I am the designated driver of the 1956 GMC flatbed truck. Yeah, it's quite the experience considering I don't usually drive a stick. It took about two hours+ just to put in two loads like this. It's not easy work. A typical team would have about two people on the ground tossing the bales up onto the truck, there would be another two on the truck stacking, and ofcourse there is the cool driver. And don't think driving is a piece of cake because it's not! Once we have crammed as much on the truck as possible, everyone piles on top and we drive down the road to what ever barn we are going to unload in. That is the typical hay day except we enjoy a few breaks in between loads in my grandma's basement where she has cold soda and snacks. Yep, that's a day in the life of a farm girl.
Oh, one random cool thing is that my parents decided they wanted part of our driveway paved, so now it looks really cool.
