What would you rather do?

Unload 14 tons of hay…

Ah, to be a kid in the summer :)

My brother brought a load of hay over the mountain for us.  It is a beautiful alfalfa/orchard blend.

Luckily, we were able to rent the services of a local hay company and they squeezed the blocks off and put them near the barn.

Once the hay was unloaded, my brother and husband loaded some of the many telephone poles we have onto the truck.  These poles are leftover from the 3 barns that we had demolished.

Luckily, we were able to borrow the neighbor’s ‘big’ tractor.

My son was thrilled to get to play with his cousin.

Before you make your decision, I should probably show you a picture of the water after they played in it for awhile…

  1. We have to haul hay tomorrow, but only six tons (all this particular grower has from this cutting). At my age, it’s nice to break it into smaller increments! Still, my chiropractor is going to kill me…..

  2. Sounds like Theron had a great day–and Tony, maybe not so much…;-)

  3. So where did the poles go? Are you keeping them? I love those things for fence posts… especially for horses. ;)

    PS: Who would I rather be? The photographer of course! LOL :D

  4. I would still opt for the pool, but I think my sheep would prefer the hay! What a nice summer for your son, and a productive summer for the grown-ups!
