Today we got to watch Mike and crew continue to cut and bale the pasture. It is a very interesting process. Our thoughts were that when you have the right equipment, it is easy and efficient.
First they cut the grasses,
Then the baler comes along and swallows up the cut grass,
after it has a full load, it stops,
lifts its back-end door,
and out rolls a bale. They really do roll out. Then as far as the eye can see, there are bales... All this may seem kind of silly, but it is really cool to see our little patch of land produce a commodity.
Also met Emily to measure the windows for blinds with her Uncle Johns help. Looks like the more economical way to go is to order what we need and install them ourselves. The trim carpenter showed up and met with Ryan. Discussed, etc. what is needed to finish and anticipate needs after the cabinets are installed. The painter starts this next week.
A few pictures:
Obviously we have not moved into the house, but we are already enjoying our back porch area. Again this week we were catching cool breezes until about 2:30 when they died a bit. All the grandchildren arrived and played under our feet. I hope this continues into the future!
