Haying ...

The last three nights have been sleepless in Royal since second crop alfalfa began on Monday at our farm.   We have no photos to document the occasion, except for some Chase took while on the tractor during the night. I stole one of those from facebook to add here -

What a sky that is!

And, here is a photo from Thomas' phone, where we can see three of the six tractors/balers in the field.

The colors in these photos are oddly amazing.

While many were out in the field, some of us were inside sleeping.  With all the extras added to our calendars we didn't get to see the grandkids for very long, but they went to sleep here and woke up here. 

One night when Boston woke up (at 4:30am) Terry and I talked with him and had a fun several minutes while waiting for Dana to come in.  He was smiling and we were enjoying the moment.  We almost blew it because we woke him up so that he didn't go right back to sleep, but he was good and just laid awake quietly until he fell asleep again.  Lucky!   The next night we tried to not talk and play with him, and he did go to sleep better that time.    He is such a good little boy.

We love to see our grandchildren and enjoy time together.  It's fun to have them wake up at our house ..., it makes us all smile. 

We are done for this round, and everyone looks forward to some rest now.  And we also look forward to the next cutting.  ;)
