Two Days in a Row and SHEEP....!

"Anybody want to push me on the swing?"

I moved the girls to fresh pasture today. They are in heaven! Of course, they have to check out the "hay" I have drying in piles that I raked yesterday and turned earlier today.

I'll bag them up before I leave for work, later this afternoon.

I'm getting quite a bit stored for this winter!

Dream's in charge of making sure it's good enough to keep...

"That is, when she's not looking for someone to push her on the swing!

"Now, THAT'S more like it!
For those of you who read this blog (as opposed to just looking at it for pictures of ME) please do NOT encourage Mom when it comes to those chickens! She's wacko enough without any help from all of you! I don't mean to be bossy or anything ~
I'm just sayin'...."

Out of the Blue...

I got a phone call on Saturday. It was a local farmer (whom I've never met) saying that he just picked up a gorgeous crop of second cut grass/alfalfa hay out of his field and that he heard I might be looking for some. He brought over a sample bale and asked me what I thought a fair price would be. I said $3.00 a bale/delivered.

The hay was nice, so I said I'd take 200 bales. As it turned out, the farmer brought his (VERY handsome!) son along to help him unload the hay.

All I had to do was put down the pallets and the two men unloaded and stacked 168 bales! (I'll get the rest in a couple of weeks)

Mr. Farmer did suggest that perhaps I'd want to show my appreciation for all his and his son's hard work but throwing in a little extra cash for all their hard work. I really couldn't argue with that.

I pitched in an extra $40 and everyone was happy.

Especially my SHEEP! I put a woven wire fence panel up against the freshly stacked hay and let the girls into the barn. As you can see, the fence panel did NOT deter them. (poor, starving creatures that they are!)
