Yesterday Mark and I drove Drew and Kayley to meet Megan in Iowa City ending their week long stay with us on the farm. It was hard giving them back! We had such a great time with those two cutie pies. Drew is now going to be a farmer when he grows up and I think Kayley will want to be retired like me and play in the gardens when she grows up. Ha! When we returned to the farm last night and walked into the house the silence was deafening and I did not like it. I sent a text to Megan stating this and she laughingly replied that they were saying how loud it was at their house! :-) I think I prefer loud...
I started mowing today and gave up after an hour. Too dang cold! Gloves didn't even help. So, I came in the house and started sorting stuff to take back to Arizona! It won't be long now if this weather keeps up. I see it is 98 in Phoenix today and that sounded just about perfect. I will be sticking around long enough to help Kayley during her recovery from surgery on Oct. 3rd. I plan on staying in Peoria until she feels well enough to return to daycare. As much as I hate to have her go through the surgery, I am glad to get to see them one last time before heading to the desert.
I have one short video of them getting a ride on grandpa's combine and dumping one last load onto the "pile". They thought the combine was pretty awesome. Grandpa doesn't call his very old combine awesome so he was glad someone thought it was! :-)
