    The house is suddenly quiet as eight kids left for Bible School.  Two great grandsons from Lewiston have spent the week here at the farm.  The younger isn't old enough for VBS so he and Ruby have had the week together.  The first three days were great, I could tell yesterday that he was ready to go home, he kept wanting to sit with me and talk about nothing.  In a few weeks they'll be asking when they can go to the farm again.

     One more section of the garden to plant but the soil isn't drying out enough to plant.  Hay is being made into wrapped round bales because there haven't been enough dry days in a row to make square bales to put in the barn. Rain means the house gets some attention.  It delights the three little ducks.

     May your day be blessed, Sally
