As the semi-warm weather continues we are limiting time off the farm to a minimum and spending as much time as possible outdoors to finish up projects for the winter. <\/p>\n<p>One huge project on the list was getting the hay put away the goats would need to get them through the winter. We are so blessed to have a barn already set up for hay storage so that wasn&#8217;t too difficult. But with the late season drought finding hay was a bit more difficult then I would have thought. Finally we found a neighbor with some hay available for purchase. He drove his hay wagon over Saturday night and we agreed to unload it, count it and pay him later. <\/p>\n<p>You would be amazed how much entertainment that wagon gave the children. For the 2 older ones, literally hours. Proeun would say, &#8220;are they still over at the hay wagon?&#8221; already knowing the answer and giving a little shake of his head and a chuckle.<br \/>&nbsp;<br \/><img decoding=\"async\" style=\"BORDER-BOTTOM: 0px solid; BORDER-LEFT: 0px solid; BORDER-TOP: 0px solid; BORDER-RIGHT: 0px solid\" src=\"http:\/\/images.quickblogcast.com\/7\/2\/6\/0\/8\/191317-180627\/20121021170737.jpg?a=76\"><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" style=\"BORDER-BOTTOM: 0px solid; BORDER-LEFT: 0px solid; BORDER-TOP: 0px solid; BORDER-RIGHT: 0px solid\" src=\"http:\/\/images.quickblogcast.com\/7\/2\/6\/0\/8\/191317-180627\/20121021170601.jpg?a=68\"><\/p>\n<p>But it was not to last.

Each of those bales weighed 50 pounds and there were 69 of them!
