Importing hay for the winter

Yesterday we hauled three tons of nice grass hay over from Yakima (Mike Drury in West Valley). Here's Don off-loading it under the barn lean-to. We couldn't find ANY to buy in this area of Montana because it was such a dry year. Nobody grew much, and what they grew, they've kept for their own animals. By next year we'll be better networked with local hay producers.

The hay is supposed to go in a special area of the barn (inside), but the barn is full of HOUSE stuff...so it won't get to really be a "barn" until we can move everything into the house. Lucky Don! He gets to move three tons of hay a THIRD time!!

Great blog, Jan. Really happy for you and Don. I can see that as Don gets closer to "retirement" he would rather move 3 tons of hay 3 times than work in the shop.
Did the same thing (not hay, of course) when we moved from Seattle. Enjoy retirement. You have both earned it.

Don and Jan. I guess you didn't as the last =one finally showed up. I was over tho the gun shop a couple of months ago and you were in Montana. It wasn't the same. Congradulations on your retirement, you earned it. I will be retiring (mandatory) from the Guard in March. Gee, it's tough getting old. But will be with the County for years yet. But that will leave me more time to ride my motorcycles. Shorthorse sounds like a nice place to stop and visit the next time I head that direction. Take care and enjoy. Wonderful blog. D.
