My working girl...

Each year after the hay is put into stacks it needs to be covered with tarps to protect it from the winter elements. This photo shows Alex working on top of the stack to help spread the tarp out. She worked hard with her uncle Dan to get the stacks covered. Ill do a blog showing the whole process.

Alex learned how to drive the semi to help haul the hay. She would drive around the field so that the hay could be stacked on the trailer. Of course Rooster the trusty dog had to go with her in the semi and supervise everything.
Here she is in the driver's seat.
Here she is taking a break from driving the semi while her uncle unloads the hay. It has given her time to catch up with her grandpa. They have had some real quality time and talks.


This shows the semi being loaded with hay. It is quite a process.
Alex has been an awesome helper for her uncle and grandpa with jumping in and being the semi truck driver. It made hauling the hay go quicker and more efficient.

I used to drive my brother's truck around picking up the hay on his farm. I sucked at driving a stick so he mocked me the whole time, but at least he had an extra hand. ;)
