Q. What smells as good as freshly baked bread?

A.  Freshly mown lawn!

Praise God, we were able to get the lawn finished today.  Many other things got done as well...  (Dad sprayed the corn; Mom, Jacob and I worked up the front flower bed, planted the flowers, then mulched it with fresh lawn clippings; Andrew helped Dad for a while, then worked on Appleseed projects and got the lawn mowers working and helped Mom and I mow; the boys fixed the patio door which had decided to start falling apart; then there was the usual laundry and dishes to do, things like that.  We have one more very busy day ahead of us and then we can enjoy time with everyone who comes.  :) 

When my dad went up and checked cows tonight, he found a week old calf (who he's been keeping an eye on) not able to even get up.  He brought it home and we mixed up some milk for it.  The calf drank down 1 1/4 bottles while standing.   Hopefully it will get back on the healthy track soon.

We want to get our outhouse painted, but every time we have time to do it, there are blue clouds on the horizon or thunder within hearing range, and so we don't waste our paint.  Maybe tomorrow before people start showing up?
