The beginning of August we mowed, raked, and baled some more hay. This Mark was hurrying to get hay up again because of rain in the forecast. The bales were so heavy and a little damp. We were hopeful that it would be ok once it set for a bit. The guys worked so hard racking heavy 80/100 lb bales of hay. Tony did all the stacking and he was green by the end of the day and am certain exhausted. They put up 5 hay racks. It ended up too wet and we had to sell most of it for a low price. Hay is hard to put up in Iowa with the humidity and rain.
Jake spends a lot of his time mowing. He also had drivers ed for most of June and into the first of July putting in hours of drive time. He has stepped up to any job that he is asked to do. He rakes hay and hauls round bales. Comparing Jake to Mark as a kid, Mark was working at a younger age and longer harder hours. Comparing Jake to kids of this generation, he is a very hard worker and does a lot for his age. It is a different time and kids don't do much. Majority of kids don't know physical labor and spend their days on video games. I like for Jake to work and have time to be a kid. I think Jake has really grown up and he is a hard worker, going until the job is done. I am proud of him and all that he does.
Even though he is growing up and working hard, when I see him pull out of the driveway in his big green tractor, I blow him a kiss and he smiles and blows one back. Love that kid!!
