Fully Loaded

Our hay arrived promptly at 2pm today. I just watched them pull away at 4:30. It's a great feeling to have a barn and shed full of hay. Unfortunately I didn't get my full order so I may be in search of a handful of round bales. I had hoped that with a full order and a few extra bales from last year that maybe we could take on one old horse but without the full order of hay coming through, I doubt we can take on anyone else unless someone wants to sponsor. I am waiting for the second weight ticket to find out exactly how much we will pay. I still need to go out and tarp some of the hay. We sort of ran out of room so I have a few that are a little bit more exposed to the elements than I would like. But, they are here so now I can worry about other things. We were able to get a total of 68 bales. I guess that was all the field provided. Last year we got 40 from that field. It didn't dawn on me until today when my hay guy said it. But it almost sounds like the field they pull the bales from is "my" field. Kind of a neat feeling to know that there's a field specifically for our hay. I can only hope that next year it'll produce better. Here's to keeping fingers crossed that we'll have good weather so "my" field will do even better next year.
