The hay is moving out, and I am not allowed to help, due to my back. :-{
55 Bales on the truck is pretty good for a Dodge. I told him if he broke down on the way home, my Ford would tow him home. :-}

It gets a little easier each day to look around and realize Life on An Acreage is winding down.
That's sad! Moving is always rather distressing. You have some beautiful saddles!

ReplyDeleteGlad it's getting easier for you but its breaking my heart watching. We do what we have to but only sometimes what we want to.
ReplyDeleteSo many changes but am so happy your beloved is finally home. Not easy but new adventures await!

ReplyDeleteHi Ian!

We all have to wind down at some time. BUT, saying that.... its hard to give up working. I know you will find something else to do. I am going to get myself one of these for my back, I have heard they are very good.
