Hello and welcome back to Close Reeds here on the Close Reeds Podcast Network. I'm David Kern,

and I am joined by Heidi White and Adam Andrews. Heidi Adam, welcome back to the show.

Thanks, David.

Good to be here.

Good to be back.

So we are here to discuss.

We're just here to go further up and further in with Ralph Moody's Little Bridges.

We're going to talk about chapters 11 through 16.

If you don't have it labeled properly in your book, chapter 11 is haying,

and then chapter 16 is a good month with no school. So we will talk about, we're going to

talk about those chapters here in a minute. Quickly though, Adam, anything you want to talk about?

Just in general, just if you have one minute to talk about anything you want to talk about.

You put me on the spot.

I can't think of a single thing.

Although I'm glad, I'll tell you this, I'm glad I'm not, I don't live in a place where you have to hay.

Well.

Or live at a time when you have to hay.

I was going to say you probably, there's probably plenty of haying done in the Pacific Northwest.

Just don't have to do it now.

A lot of this book is reminding me how grateful I am to live in the era and the location that I do.

Although, I mean, his childhood is wonderful and there's many, there's glorious things about it and all the important things are taking care of.

But man, oh man, I sure do like modern conveniences.
