Reed Ranch- Cute & Tasty

Yesterday Asa started his vacation. He has until Sunday off. Our big outing for the evening was to drive the minivan into the Hay Barn and start clearing it out. We had wondered why people on farms used pitch forks. We havent had the need for one yet. Until now. We used one the other day when we cleaned out the goats pen. Now we both need one for the hay barn. We have been selling hay since we moved in and it is still more than half full. It has become sloppy with the way people take the hay out and drive over it. It was never stacked neatly or pulled neatly from the time we moved here. We dressed the kids up warm and let them have fun playing in the hay, car and with the dog. I didnt mention we have no electricty in the hay barn. Thats why we had to drive the car into it. We used the headlights to see, along with a few flash lights. We were able to save about a hundred bales and restack them. We also worked on it today. We are picking up hay that has spread out onto the ground for several years. It is at least a foot deep to waist deep in some areas. We are hoping we can rebale some of it. We have a huge haystack of all of the loose hay. Needless to say we are getting Hay crazy. While cleaning up the hay Asa said " I will never think a roll in the Hay as romantic or fun anymore". I totally agreed with him. It is just a dirty place. I am just so thankful we didnt see any creatures like rats or mice last night. It was too dark to see spiders. I just dont think about that while we are working in there. We did find a few eggs the chicken had laid. We havent seen the chicken in a week or so. Maybe the bobcat Asa saw got it. Or the Coyotes. We will go back out tonight. I will try to take pictures.
