My dad baled hay not just for us, but for other farms in the area. It was his side business. I can smell the sweet hay even now. So glad you are enjoying the beautiful place where you live.

I spent many years, when I had horses and alpacas, enjoying hay from eastern Washington or central Oregon.. probably alot came from where we live now! So many of these little things are what fill our memories with joyeous times. I hope you are having a nice weekend. I'm down at the Oregon coast visiting my sister. It is so nice to see her and spend time with her! Hugs to you....

I thought that with post before this one but was not sure as I had had hectic day and had blogged here and there through the day. Blogger used to do this quite often with a few blogs....and there are certain people that comment on my blog that I never receive the notification that they have commented.
