help | Life on a Colorado Farm

Blade’s here!!! He has been here for a week, but Mom says the week is about over!

He’s been helping Mom and Dad lots! Where ever they go and whatever they do, he is right there with them.

JUST LIKE ME!

We all went out and rolled bales for Dad…that means we straightened up all the bales so the stack wagon can just come along and pick them up, without Dad having to get off and straighten the bale first.

Then Blade gathered the loose cut alfalfa the baler missed on the back end of the first field, while Mom and I gathered the loose hay on the upper end.

Blade picked the hardest part; he said he really wanted to do, so Mom and I let him.

Mom says Blade cuts her work in ½, he is that good of helper.

Dad is cutting the big field of alfalfa now. Mom says that when this alfalfa has dried down into hay, it will just be she and I to do everything.

I sat down on the ground and whapped my tail several times, with great love in my eyes. I’ll be here to help Mom, I tried to convey to her.

Mom gave me lots of pats, “I know, Boomer. It’s just Blade gets OFF the 4-wheeler and actually moves the bales.”
