In My "Office"

Good morning, Everyone!

What another beautiful day!! It's mid July and it is absolutely beautiful out here. It's been nice having the windows open every day. The birds are singing. The chickens were out for a couple of hours. Someone is baling hay the "old fashion" way---using a square baler---not a round baler. Listening to the baler brings back so many memories for me. My siblings and I and my uncle---sometimes my dad---put up hundreds of square bales every summer. Alfalfa, grass, red clover, straw were some of the kinds we put up. Elvin, my uncle, would not let us help him put up red clover hay. He said it was too itchy and not the place for us girls. It was ALWAYS a blast to put up hay with Elvin. He always drove the tractor while myself and two of my sisters were on the wagon. He'd always laugh and make baling hay fun! Thanks for the memories, Unkie (Elvin). I miss you so much daily!!

Today is Saturday and I am caught up with homework. It's truly strange not to have to worry about homework. I might start writing my script for the animation class I am in this month. The script seems to be an easy one to write.

I baked homemade cinnamon roll for my hubby. I love to bake! I have always said that I would bake anything anyone asks me to, even if I do not like the food myself. I don't like pie but I make a mean cherry pie. I like to think I have the knack to whip up meringue--by hand. Grandma Helen used to say that it is all in the wrist. I miss you, Grandma, daily!

Gosh, I LOVE sitting outside!!

Have a super wonderful day!
