Making Hay

Two days ago, I posted this picture for Wordless Wednesday:

That’s my neighbor Bob cutting grass on the bottom two plus acres of our lawn.  We had talked about it over the summer.  I was elated willing to let him cut that grass, bale it and feed it to his cattle.  It saves me time and diesel fuel to not mow that myself.  At the same time it keeps that area from becoming overgrown with weeds, vines and brush.

That happened on Thursday before Thanksgiving.  The next Monday, Neighbor Bob was back to bale the “hay” into large round bales.

It didn’t take long and the baling was finished.  Normally as each bale is completely formed, Bob stops while the machine secures the bale and dumps it out the back.  That day as the bales were completed, he would drive the short distance to a spot near his barn where he let the bales finish the process and eject where they would require no further handling.  He is one smart fellow!

It sure is nice to have good neighbors.  We think ours are tops.

    • Whoa! I don’t think you really want to do that. You’d end up in trouble with the law–zoning ordinance violation for sure. :rofl:
