This was one of those 'aaahhh' days. The weather was gorgeous this morning and while Robin was gone, I weeded a patch, planted some broccoli, fed the cats, and just enjoyed the sun in the garden.
Robin came back with another truckload of manure which I
emptied with the help of a young Kansan who's planning to work on the farm too.
Then, we hopped in the truck to get some hay from a nearby farmer. After today's 60 degree-weather, we're expecting a snow storm tonight or tomorrow! It is very windy now, and I'm not sure what's coming... As a result, we wanted to make sure to get the hay before the bad weather.
The farmer and her two daughters were really friendly (that seems to be a Kansas trait...) and showed us two calves that the girls are raising as milk cows. They were so sweet and incredibly soft! I loved that...
We loaded the hay 'old style', i.e., from the barn's upper floor directly into the back of the truck. The smell reminded me of when my sister and I used to look for eggs in the huge stack of hay at our neighbors... Another wonderful madeleine...
Rode back home and unloaded the hay into the barn and called it a day. Mission accomplished for the day!
