“We’re going to have a party,” Ada Mae sang as she jumped on the load of hay.“Fishing! We’re going fishing.” Joel bounced extra hard.“Dancing. There’ll be dancing.” Emily closed her eyes and almost slipped off the edge of the hay load.“Watch it up there,” Beans warned as he forked up a load of hay.Opal grinned at the antics of the younger ones. There hadn’t been any parties since just after Christmas and right before the blizzards started in earnest. And McHenry had said there would be dancing. She looked across the field to where Jacob was working on the mower by the barn. What would it be like to dance with him again?“Opal, quit daydreaming and keep them horses movin.” Beans’ shout brought her back with a start. She flapped the reins and turned at a shriek from Emily.“Snake.”Opal started back, but Joel beat her to it and flipped the critter off the load. Snakes and mice hid under the rows of hay and sometimes got tossed up on the load. “Was it a rattler?”“Don’t know.”
