The Summer Moon...

Rises in the night sky...
Blessing us as our day closes...
Reminding us of the wonder of our world!!!

Hair...

It's in his face...
And it's time for a trim... 
 So he can see...
And we can see...
Those amazing eyes!!!

Phase Two...

Jake rakes the hay into windrows...
 Rick bales...
 Huck drives the Gator with Jamey, while Jake salts the bales...

Once again, many hands (and machines) make light work!!!
