Our haying was going well. We had been taking turns each night with Amber and Jared, which was nice. That way one family got a free night. Our turn came back up Wednesday, usually we try to go to the temple that night. When we got out to the field that night, we discovered we had had rain and it was to wet to continue. I was a little disappointed since we could have made it to the temple had we only known. But that is how things go. Then Thursday Amber and Jared had got lots done and I was sure we could finish Friday. We tried to start early when it was not to hot, but the dew did not dry until almost 11. I had started raking because there was a wind and we knew it was drying fast. I got enough ahead of Dave that he sent me home, I needed to make bread, and he continued. Not long after he sent me at text saying the rake had broken. Great! A few hours later I was sure Dave would be back to the home quarter and then got a call saying he had run out of gas. Got that sorted then a bit later the tractor died in the middle of the road. It was a long ordeal, but we got it towed off the road and into the field just before dark. So we did not get done. And I had such high hopes to start that morning.
Cora came again for Kailey's farewell. She has been burning up the highway and we have loved seeing her. Kailey is off to teach the people of Chile.
Cora was able to stay Monday as well. We had been watching weather all day. I am not sure if Cora will make it back down again for a day on the lake. It was beautiful until just about the time Dave got off work. We had decided sadly not to go, then the clouds seemed to switch direction and we jumped in the car. As we got closer and closer the storm turned back towards the lake. We were hoping to get a few runs in for her, but we were to late. It was to risky.
They whitecaps came up fast.
We ended up going for a walk and hanging out. It was a bit chilly with the wind, but it was so nice just to be together.
These three sure miss each other. I have had a few compliments lately about how well my kids get along and how close they are. I am so happy they do. We worked really hard to make sure they were. I hope they always stay that way.
Came home to a beautiful rainbow. The kids ended up watching a movie and staying up way to late. But loving it.
Of course every time Cora comes home, we get to see the Toone's as well. She really misses Maycie as her roommate and they try to see each other whenever she is here.
Dave likes to make sure all his kids know how to take care of their own car. Last night was Leah's lesson in how to change oil. She can do the tire and she also learned to check all the fluids.
Leah has been getting a lot of hours at work. She really enjoys her job. She has a busy weekend. It is like a comic con and she will be working 14 hour days. But she gets paid well for it. Blake has also been enjoying his little job. He goes most days for a few hours. I love that he can ride his dirt bike back and forth. We are feeling blessed this summer.
