MEA in Cyrus

Friday was so gorgeous, we spent a good share of it outside. At this time of year, you appreciate it, knowing it may be a good long time before 70 degrees again. The top photo shows the cornstalk bales Dad decided to have done this year. The cows lay in them and eat them in the winter. Paul chopped stalks for Dad a good share of Friday and Dad got his corn into the bins before the rain took over on Sat and Sunday. Mom had a huge batch of beef soup going on Friday night-so good- and Royce grilled 3 of his own chickens on Saturday night, that was excellent too. I took a little leftovers home for soup or maybe quesadillas tonight when we're watching the Vikes.
Grant and Grandpa talking about ????
A little football
Grant loves the tiny tractors.
The kids got their hair sprayed and punked at the Cyrus Trinity Church Bazaar. This year I bought lefse, baked beans, onions, a few pieces of vintage jewelry and a pretty tin floral box. Maybe next year all the sisters should do the hair thing, that would be a fun picture!!
Everybody's on their way back home on Sunday morning. Maybe a nice day for car naps?? Isn't Polly the cutest dog? The Floms have had her for a year in November. They adopted her from the Humane Society in Alex. Despite the fact that she has a wonderful home, Polly has tried to run away on 4 occasions, crazy dog. Too bad I didn't get a picture of her wearing her spiffy new fall sweater.

Love the cornstalk bale and gravity box picture. I curse gravity boxes but it sure does add to the patina of this picture.
