July 9

I mentioned the wedding that we hosted a week ago.  This is the whole field that we mowed.  They had a tent down by the creek, porta-potties down there and parking up at this end by the driveway.
 
 
J is fortunate to have an uncle who is a policeman in a nearby large city.  We were able to meet him while he was on duty and J was able to sit in the car and even turn the flashing lights on.


He put handcuffs on Charley.  It was an exciting time for us all.


We have had a lot of rain for a week.  It has finally moved on but we had a beautiful rainbow.  The major rainbow was complete!  I don't think I have ever seen that.  And there was a double on both ends.  Absolutely beautiful!


And then the sky was beautiful.


The kids had a friend move away who gave them a battery-operated 4-wheeler for J.  He was absolutely fearless.  I used the zoom for this shot.  This is close to a quarter mile from the house.  After he had gone a little farther on the lane, he got off on the grass and kept working his way down the hill.  Because everything is so wet, he kept backing up to try for better traction.  Pretty smart - huh?  But then he got to a point he couldn't get himself out, so he had to be towed by Grandpa with the mower and tractor.  Bob put the "motorcycle" on the mower and J on the tractor and brought him back up to the driveway.  He made it back to the house but had to get off and push a lot because of the steep hill and the wet gravel.  When he got back, he said his legs hurt.

 
 
What a wonderful week!  Another week in the Bluegrass.
