Keeping The Household Well Stocked

We burned through my supply of second cut hay much faster than I thought we would last year. We are again out of second cut hay, we just finished off the five bales I'd bought a few moons ago to tide us over to this harvest. So, instead of 15 bales, I decided to buy 30 bales of second cut hay. We'll see how that has gone when the third cut gets harvested. If I underestimated our hay consumption again, I'll just buy more third cut hay.

I found Applejack at the Ponyville marketplace with a big cart full of freshly baled hay. I waited for my turn behind a pair of Yak buyers. They were haggling with Applejack and prodding the bales in her cart. No doubt looking for that perfect bale, but much more polite that Prince Rutherford in that regard. Smashing stuff is bad for business. I ordered my thirty bales and trotted home to prepare. Applejack hitched herself to her cart and headed off to deliver her load of hay to the train station.

With Spike's help I cleaned out the hay dust from the room that has been repurposed as a second and third cut pantry and straightened up the grid of wood planks. There are four bales of third cut hay left. I moved them closer to the door. Applejack is going to deliver my hay order tomorrow.
