124 Bales

That’s better than a poke in the eye with a charcoal stick isn’t it?!

Though the morning started off with a very pessimistic attitude.

It was looking like rain, showers were blowing over, the wind was a gale and the hay was still too wet due to the humidity and spotty rain in the night but by the afternoon the rain had held off and the sun was out, so I went out with my fork and rolled all the hay over  so the wet underside was in the sun and retrieved all the hay that had been blown into the bean field. By 5pm we had bales in the barn. And I began to breathe again. The tension had been awful.

The bales are still on the hay rack in the barn across the way, because that is where I will be needing this batch during the winter, but they are out of the weather and I can go over each day and unload at my leisure.  Though stacking hay is not exactly a leisure activity.

The chicks are in their intermediary home –  the stock trailer aka The Black Mariah.. it is nice and big and out of the weather while they are still small. I am starting to feed them their hay now that we have some good stuff. 

It was a lovely warm day yesterday. 

But by the time I was finished I was staggering tired. 

Have a lovely day.

Love your friend on the farm
