Fall Break Projects

We had a beautiful fall break week.
We mixed relaxation with a couple projects around the house.
Staining the swingset and porch posts had been on our MY list since the spring.

Both boys were actually really good help with the swingset and I worked on the porch poles.
They were really good help when they were not trying to spray each other or stain each other, that is.

We cleaned the swingset one day, then finished the staining another day.
They were using a shovel as a bat at this point, who knows!?!

We got a call midday that DH would be bringing a semi load of beans to the mill near
our home, so we took him morning break - the boys did not complain.

Sam's cookie dough came.  He worked hard at dividing it up and we made routes to deliver it.

Graham visits Graber Hill

Graham got to have his day at Graber Hill.
It was much anticipated, mostly by the Graber's because you can't
tell a 2 year old about something exciting if you don't know when it is going to work out!

I picked him up after lunch and he was ready with his digger shirt and boots.  
Quinn was NOT impressed that she did not get to come along.
Theo was all smiles, he did not care as much!

Look at that preciousness.  
Sitting in a pile of run over corn (oops) playing with his dump truck.

We called Shannon and Shaylee and they showed their chickens.
He liked the chickens and scooped up 2 eggs to take home.
He kept saying, cant "queeze" 'em.

He asked about the rooter.
But the rooster isn't very nice so we couldn't get close.
https://drive.google.com/uc?export=view&id=1E1lek6WTHphbTSLJWEBkc0tIHVkHdDh9
And we visited Dryce's rabbits.  Oh my there are a lot of them.
They are so soft.  
He petted one, then it was onto the cows.
https://drive.google.com/uc?export=view&id=10SJ2C8gQI6FWh1t9wAH-4yW_XeSLjxpN
He could have watched the cows a long time.
But, turned his attention to Joe who was climbing the grain bin.
He told Joe to get down!

And finally he got to sit on his tractor.  He touched all the levers and smiled a lot.

He found a pile of corn dust to play in and brought home a box of corn,
for outside only. Tee Hee

And got a small tractor (lawn mower) ride from Shaylee back to the van.

And then we finally found Danny in the big truck, he was happy about his 
semi ride hauling grain next door back to the farm.
That smile thru the window, he's a mix of his daddy and mom.
But, when he smiles like that I see my brother as a baby all over again!
My momma would have loved that!

No trip to the farm would be complete without a farm snack.
Drinks from the garage fridge and chips from Co-Op did the trick!

Joe and Graham crossed the field to get their combine ride from Papaw Donnie.
Look at those trees. 
I was rewarded for this trip, too.
Views, Smiles from everyone - something about a young one enjoying the magic of the farm.

Joe said he rode here a long time.
On the floor of the combine, close to the action as it harvest the corn...until
he ran out of steam and crawled into Joe's lap and snuggled in for 
a  quick nap.  
The combine is famous for that!

And then it was back out to watch the corn be unloaded into the semi again
for another trip to the farm grain bins.

A little more playing in the corn before we headed home.

These cousins bring us so much Joy.
She sure is full of love.

Farm Fancy

On our Graber Hill trip,
I noticed that the Kenworth semi was practically sporting 
Vanity Plates.

Looks like the word FANCY to me!
So the ol Kenworth got a new name.

FARM FANCY she is!

I spotted my farmer talking the the Co-Op gas man, who just happens 
to be my nephew Cole's wife's dad.
It's a small town you know!
He makes several trips to the farm (and others) during farm
season bringing gas to keep the combines and big rigs running!

Those Harvest Skies.

Dan was planning to run late one night,
so I ran him out a drink and sandwich.
I was rewarded for my trip.
https://drive.google.com/uc?export=view&id=11hgwomWnwQvzMR7gVs0T8jixPeszUDhX
It was the most beautiful sky. Dan's mom and had a funeral
and the field looked like a big boy playing farm.
Dan was running by himself in the combine and he had tractors
and wagons spread out in the field to unload into.
I chuckled a little, but hey it worked!
