It's that time of year again... hay season!!! And for those of you who suffer with allergies, not such a good time of year. But for those of us who have been waiting all winter (and counting our hay bales all spring hoping we have enough) hay season can't come soon enough. Actually, I was getting kind of nervous back in March, thinking we might run out .. but, turns out we were OK and we are still 40 bales to the good even before getting our first new batch in.
The hay looks really good this year. A fairly wet spring, followed by lots of sunshine and dry air, made the hay spring to life. I told Father that I could hear it growing as we drove by. This year, I am going to put up as much as possible. Come those cold winter days.. hay in the loft is like money in the bank... and I want to be prepared and not "jumpy" like I was this past year. We have the room, we might as well use it.
Abbie was fascinated by it all. She loves tractors and things of that nature and was so good just watching them bale it up. (She's explaining it all to Tom!!!)
And this wonderful batch is headed right to our barn. It's just the first load of a few... but, it's time!!!!
