The weekend is finally here! I don’t know if you feel the same way, but when there is a Holiday the work week after it seems to last forever!
Since it was the weekend I had some big plans to be on the water kayaking Saturday. Well, that dream was pretty short lived. At our farm the rain started early in the morning and we didn’t want to be on the water if it was going to rain. So instead I did a bunch of errands and Daryl and I ended going out for the night. It was still a pretty good day – but I think going kayaking would have made it even better 🙂
Now Sunday’s weather was really nice. And honestly it was almost perfect! Low 80’s and a slight breeze. Yup, pretty much perfect. We knew that we were going to head out early to get some bike riding in and once the bikes were loaded into the truck, we were off. We started to ride on this one highway that’s not so traveled and we came across a sign that said in so many miles the bridge was out. Well, you usually can get around those type of situations with a bicycle so we kept riding. Pretty soon it said that the bridge is out in 500 feet. Yea, whatever right? Well, when we got to the spot guess what? The bridge was out. Now who would have thought they were actually telling the truth. Because it rained Saturday night, there was no way that we were going to get across or around it. So we turned around and headed back to town to find another road to ride on. We ended up riding on this one highway that I think honestly I’ve never been on it before even in a car. It was kind of fun just checking not only the farms but also the area out. We had a really nice ride and was home in time to make a Birthday card for my Aunt and then off to her party that was being held today for her 90th birthday. 
We took the Chevelle to the party because it hasn’t been driven much this year and it was a good afternoon just to drive around for awhile. Once we got home, we checked in with Kyle on skype and then I ended up doing some housework and Daryl went to cut the hay. He thought he’d be out in the field for about 2 hours, so I was kind of confused why he was home after about an hour. Here it turned out that he hit a rock and needed to work on the haybine. I just laughed when I saw that Sam the peacock was watching him pretty close from the barn window and every time he started the tractor, Sam would just scream.

Now don’t you wonder just why he had to scream? I mean was it because the tractor was loud or what? Who knows, but it didn’t really take Daryl too long to fix the haybine and off he went again to get the field cut tonight. 
The night ended up with a campfire that William lit. The moon Saturday night was called the Supermoon because they say that it’s the closest to the earth and it also appears 30 % brighter than normal. Now I know that the moon was the brightest last night – but holy smokes it was huge tonight and just beautiful. Sitting by the campfire with the huge moon in the background was a great way to end the weekend.
