Hay It Ain't So
Jun. 29th, 2016 11:39 pmI stretched it as much as I could, but we are all out of last year's first cut hay. We're lucky that the Hay Board decided to push the harvest earlier, it means that I will be restocking with fresh hay. It's going to be quite the contrast in our plates, going from that really yellow and old stuff to fresh, fragrant and still green forage!
Last year I bought 30 bales and this year, with an extra pony in the castle, I was thinking 45 bales, but now I've decided 50 bales would be better. Applejack will be delivering 50 choice, bales of bone dry first cut timothy hay to my door tomorrow. I kidded with her by telling her that they better be good because that's the hay she'll be eating next time she comes over. That's not really true, I usually serve third cut hay to guests.
Spike and I spent an hour or so today cleaning out the dust and shooing the star spiders out the balcony door of our impromptu first cut pantry. The planks are in place, it has been mopped down ceiling to floor and it is ready for that sweet, fresh timothy hay. Mmmmm!
