Have two wagons of hay in for the winter. 👏🥶 Could have had help from our Amish neighbor kids but wouldn't be able to help until this evening. Got a call from my hay person at 7 am saying he could bring one load of hay, which was alfalfa/blue grass mix, instead of getting it this afternoon, since calling for rain. He was heading to Kentucky this morning with a load. When he came he said he also had a load of pure orchard grass, which he put up the same day I checked on first load last week but was hesitant to say anything since not knowing how quality would be. I was going to wait for second cutting but also had a concern of fox tail popping up by time ready to cut. We had foxtail bad last year. So Kermit decided to start unloading hay while I took my neighbor to get her serger sewing machine fixed at Pohlar Fabrics. When we got back I started helping taking bales off wagon while he stacked. After unloading first load and a rest, we went to look at load of orchard grass. Looked so much better than last year's since was put up late due to rains, then we had an extremely dry summer. So brought it home and unloaded. It can be tough finding decent hay at a reasonable price. So this job is done for the summer.😀 I had to rush off to a Rush County Farm Bureau board meeting this evening, since I'm secretary, so when I got home had to finish barn chores, get a bath then we had a simple supper at 9:30. 🥱 What a day.😵💫
