Baling Hay and Flowers

 After a rainy May and first week of June, we finally got the hay baled!

It was hot, thirsty work.

We ended up with 200 bales! Bruce did most of the work but I got to drive the truck around the field so he could load the bales, then I helped take them off the truck and load them in the barn. Whew. It was hot and humid!!

Oh, true story - My mother-in-law was with us the weekend we baled. She actually helped too - the first evening I went to get eggs from a friend, she and Bruce stayed at the farm and she asked him if he was going to load any of the hay that evening? He said he was so she drove the truck and then climbed up in it and rolled the bales to the end so Bruce could stack them in the barn. He told her to act her age. Y'all! She's almost 81. I sure hope I'm going as strong as she is at that age! :o) I wish I had a picture of her doing that.

I'm enjoying them while I can. Before long, it will be all I can do just to keep things watered much less keep them blooming. But for now, I'm finding joy in my garden, fields and woods.
