Hay Day!


See the huge haystack the kids are sitting on? We moved it ALL to the muddy spots in our yard. We're having such a warm December with temps in the mid30'sF to low 40'sF and no snow that we're left with soggy soil and a few muddy spots.

Reeve and Kyle had a blast helping us move the hay. We made a nice path for the electric meter reader, path to the front garage door for the mail carriers, a path to the compost pile, and a path down to the southside of the house. We used all the hay! Now we need to get another huge round so we can mulch in the garden. We have a large portion of the garden done, but we need more :-). It really helps when we want to get started planting spinach in the very muddy spring.

These kids have a seemingly endless supply of energy! After we moved hay they wore themselves out on their 3-wheelers.

Despite my constant requests to keep a safe distance, their favorite thing to do is to race around in circles rubbing front-wheel to back-wheel. Afterwards we all went inside and calmed down by doing some yoga. It felt really good to give our muscles a yoga massage after moving all that hay!
