His eyes would get red and itchy. So one day I noticed him heading out to help Daddy put the bales up in the hayloft - with swimming goggles on! Pretty cute - wish I had taken a picture!<br /><br />Thanks for taking us along!Kathiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15954229132389021143noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6095103946834851624.post-9858965674068405482012-06-25T08:26:23.044-06:002012-06-25T08:26:23.044-06:00Now that was a fun ride.

You are an amazing woman to do all that you do on your ranch. I'm very impressed! And yes, I'd love to go for a ride with you! I'd prefer a coolish day though :)M.K.https://www.blogger.com/profile/09205619221345704689noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6095103946834851624.post-51648030160807250702012-06-24T08:15:39.437-06:002012-06-24T08:15:39.437-06:00Looks like a fun job Ms. Gumbo -- too bad you can&...Looks like a fun job Ms. Gumbo -- too bad you can't stitch and steer.

It's my favorite tractor of all.<br /><br />You are right. Our hay is dryland hay. We don't irrigate and we've only ever gotten second cuttings a handful of times and just on the very best areas of the hay fields. The windrows that I pictured were of our best hay this summer. Most of it was much thinner. Much.<br /><br />JodyGumbo Lilyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02747138637571716591noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6095103946834851624.post-90812210243423300102012-06-23T12:04:11.083-06:002012-06-23T12:04:11.083-06:00My husband would be jealous of your new tractor......My husband would be jealous of your new tractor...he wants that one, too!
