Hay Ride

As a small child, I'm sure nothing is more exciting than going along for a hay ride.

The rumbling tractor stops,
you watch in awe as the farmer quickly strides in your direction,
he seems to be coming straight for you,
can it be?
 an outstretched hand beckons you to come,
you glance toward mama...
can I really go?
holding fingers tightly, you leap cut hay in a bounding gallop
climbing high into the cooled tractor cab,
the AC blowing in your face
holding onto the bar, the tractor jolting back to life
hungrily eating grass
you are helping
the farmer needs you
you are going on a hay ride


For a little boy, there aren't many happier moments than that.

  3. Hey jessica,
    I have read your blog forever and you and I have actually "comment talked" as i call it a few times.. I wanted to get your opinion on something. I am getting married and want to make my engagement Save The Date cards and my invitation do you have any suggestions where I could look for ideas?
    I love all the crafting ideas you have show, and I adore you house soooo cute..
    Thanks in advance for whatever help you can offer.

  4. I remember going on hayrides when I was little. They don't have that around here. Would be a ton of fun though.
