Bill came down and cut the hay last week and then turned it on the following days. On Monday, with Caroline now home it was time to bale. Thankfully Caroline was now home as being a Monday some of our regular help was away at work and then the other local boys who often come on baling day did not show. That left Caroline, Bill and myself to move the 900 odd bales into the barn. Bill, who has the equipment would help us finish each load so he could dump the next one. Became a very long day as we started at 130 and finished about 9pm. Thankfully another neighbour Mike came by looking for Bill and helped us finish things up for the last hour just as Caroline and I were at the point of total exhaustion.
We did get another good crop in the barn and things are set for another winter season. We only need about 300 bales for the year so we are selling some again this year.
