Haying Season

It's been a full week here of school in the mornings, and then heading out to the barn to help with haying in the afternoons and evenings.  The count, as of last night, was about 4200 square bales, and I'm not gonna lie, I'm a little bit exhausted!  It was good fun though, to be able to help out, sweat our butts off, and get a good workout!  I said that instead of doing "hot yoga", like some friends of mine do, I did "hot haying"!  We not only used the bale wagon, which picks up bales and stacks them, we also had a few trailers which took crews out to the fields to load and stack bales. 

 
Hannah got some more practice driving the truck and trailer while we stacked bales. It's a great place to get practice driving...an open field, with nothing but hay bales in the way. She did great, although she was a bit nervous at first. By the time we were done, she was a pro!
 
Every night, we got to witness another beautiful Alberta sunset. 
 
*sigh* I love this time of year!
 
Now, we need to turn our attention back home and get our place all ready for winter!
