| Stacy has hay hair! |

| Possible trade school students throwing bales into the mow |
...or at least the crops do! This morning Stacy helped Garry and Max bale the second cut hay, all 55 bales. There has been almost no rain since first cut, about a month ago, and no significant rainfall since sometime last year. A lot of the winter wheat was plowed up this spring and planted in corn or sunflowers, since there was such a dry fall. Garry's corn crop, which looked so promising a few weeks ago, is shrinking and coming into tassel already. Some of it is very short, maybe four to six feet. Without a good rain in the next couple days, there will be very little grain in the cobs, and Garry will be chopping some poor corn silage early, like when we return in three weeks!
There are a few dark clouds promising rain around this afternoon, but the wind seems to be blowing them away from the village and Garry's fields...

| Taco lunch, was followed by pizza night and.... |
......the grand finale dinner, fried crowlik (rabbit) Stacy had wanted to eat rabbit last summer when she was here, but the restaurant was out that day, so Max promised here we'd eat rabbit when she returned, it has been in the freezer since fall, but Stacy was too busy teaching English in Kranmatorsk to come visit when we were here until now!
