Keep Those Hay Bales Comin'
© Copyright 2008 FarmgirlFare.com, the award-winning blog where the most important thing we learned during haying season this year is that you always need to double check the shear bolts (and anything else) the kid at the local hardware store picks out for you, because returning the ones that are the wrong size makes for an hour of driving, a lot of frustration, and some very expensive bolts considering the price of gas these days. But thanks to my hunky farmguy's masterful skills with duct tape, at least baling operations didn't have to shut down during the mad dash back to town.
Hi Susan, It has been a while since I have visited your blogs. I saw your new dogs. They are so cute! I have only skimmed thru past posts,but it looks like you are starting a bread bakery. How wonderful! Wishing for you much success.
ReplyDeleteEven when one doesn't live as isolated as FG and Hunky - having to turn around and spend gas, time and emotions on a trip back to get the "right thing" is a smack in the head. Time is a precious commodity - hope you had something wonderful on the radio and got all music therapied right up!

ReplyDeletelove the sunscreen on that tractor! :o) Last week I spent a lot of time reading through your blog archives - awesome! You are an inspiration for a lot of people, methinks.
Wow Square bails! Makes my back hurt just looking at them. I know they are easier to store but I don't envey you going to the top of the barn in 90* weather.
ReplyDeleteThey do make a lovely picture though.
could you please explain the haying process for those of us who have know idea how it works but would love to find out.
