It was a pretty busy day with lots of projects getting done. We moved wood, mulched, and Luke got his first ride in the little Cushman farm cart. It was pretty warm today and will be hotter tomorrow. We had pizza for dinner and it was delicious.
Action packed day.
This morning we went for a drive in the truck towards the back of the property, then walked around one of the ponds. Luke loved both riding in the back of the truck and the hike. We had lunch and then naps. Afterwards we went for another drive around the farm in the pickup. The weather was lovely and the air fresh. A great respite from all the craziness in the world right now.
In Michigan.
We left the house at 7:32 yesterday evening and arrived at Liz’s parents’ at 6:22 this morning. So under ten hours of driving, which is surely a record for us. We stopped once for gas and twice to stretch our legs. Luke didn’t sleep as much as I would have liked, but overall he did well. I slept from about eight to noon this morning. Liz and Luke slept a lot this afternoon while John and I drove around a bit. We had dinner and then Luke very reluctantly went to bed. John and I drove around some more as it stayed light until after ten.
Playing, mowing, soon to be driving.
We didn’t go to the park this morning, but did manage to play with Legos a bit and read several books. Despite it being super hot Luke wanted to go drive the tractor, so we did a little bit of mowing before the tractor got low on fuel. During his nap I took trash to he dump and filled up Liz’s car with fuel. We decided that we would leave this evening after dinner and bath. So now I am about to load up the car in preparation for driving through the night.
Normal day in abnormal times.
Luke had occupational therapy this morning and we read a lot before then. Afterwards we drove around on the tractor for a bit and read some more. He only napped for about two hours this afternoon. While he slept I worked on designs for the next house. We went to the nature park after Liz got off work. Thankfully it had cooled off a bit. This evening I have been doing more house stuff – plans and materials estimating.
