Hay Days!











The weather has finally cooperated long enough to get the hay cut, cured and in the barn.




We contract our neighbour to mow and bale for us, and he had problems of his own with tractors not working the way they should.




With the help of our current wwoofer Caileigh, we were able to get the hay baled and stored on Friday.




This year we had the loan of a hay elevator to help move the bales along. It's basically like Disney Land for hay as they ride along the conveyor. Caileigh and I were the "carnies" making sure each bale was properly seated for the ride to the top.




Now it's time for a day off!

Wow! You got all the gear! That makes it much easier than trying to chuck bails to the top of the pile. I love fresh hay ... it smells so nice. Hope you're all fine out there. Don is working now so I have no wheels.
