| Claire and Cody ride on top as Clay adds another bale |
I was thrilled when the children were invited to participate in putting away hay for the winter. Our pony was fed mostly by Granddad's hay last year, and will again have him to thank for her meals this winter. I feel it is important for the children to understand the work that is involved. They aren't big enough to be helpers yet, but they enjoyed being observers.

Clay worked hard to earn our share. The hay crops around here seem to have done really well this year.
I was unable to participate because I was working, but the pictures remind me of childhood summers: driving the open cabbed tractor, watching the baler "poop" out the bales, struggling to roll the big bales onto the elevator to send up to the top of the barn. I'm so glad that my children were able to share the experience.
