HAULING HAY.
Our little house is basically nestled in the middle of a rather large cattle operation - which makes for some surprising mornings with cows peeking in the windows. This past week, bales and bales and bales of freshly-cut hay have been rolling into the nearby barn for storage. Generously, the farm manager offered to give us some of the old rotten bales if we would haul them out of his way. This is an AMAZING gift to us, as we mulch our entire garden with hay and straw. SO - we got up extra early and spent a hot, dusty, sweaty, itchy morning loading up the truck and driving up to the garden - over and over and over. It was all worth it, though! We think we now have enough mulch to finish out the season (all for free!) Plus...we found what we assume was a baby vulture in the barn. I am trying to convince Jesse to let me keep it and raise it as a pet. Right?!- Hannah.
