Oh so pretty.
Can you hear it?
I don’t think that I am imagining it…
I think that the Mormon Tabernacle Choir has come to town and is singing the Hallelujah chorus in my pole shed.
Hay Stacking, Summer 2008 has come to a close! We have over 2500 bales put up, and in desperation gave the last two wagon loads to my friend Jennifer in recognition of all of her help… oh, and because not only is the pole shed full, I just can’t face stacking any more!
Next year, I believe that I will investigate cup stacking as a new hobby and will feed my horses nothing but the finest rice cakes.
Even having worn gloves, my hands are slightly swollen, blistered in places and sore from the constant bite of strings into my flesh. My knees ache from constantly stepping into the inevitable holes between hay bales. My abdominal muscles, which like to hide out in their padded lair, are shrieking at me. My left shoulder and arm are abnormally large due to the manner in which I had to load the hay elevator. There are still assorted bits of hay chaff lodged in my ears and plastered to my scalp, despite numerous showers and one very lengthy bath laden with Epsom salts. I feel pretty!

LOL, Oh gosh, glad that I have most of mine delivered and don’t have enough room for that many! Yikes!
