yep, had to get the hay in on Thursday LOL. I have the BEST neighbours in the country I swear, they mow the shared drive that is mine, they even mow the road side grass (which is definitely mine!!!) They lend me tools, they digs holes when I need to bury animals (to be fair, they do have a wee digger and I only have a spade!) they look after my critters when I shoot away, they are just awesome neighbours, gorgeous family, and on Thursday night while I'm dragging the 2nd load of hay in very slowly off the paddock thinking "shit, I've got another 6 loads to go, how the hell am I going to do this?!" they drive into the paddock and start loading their trailer with my hay and carting it back to my shed for me. SOOOOOOO grateful cause there is just no way I would have gotten the 200 bales in all on my own in one night.
The horses got to spend a couple of nights out roaming the big paddock without an electric tape in sight, so good for the soul seeing them be able to kick up their heels and rampage around a big space like that. Doesn't happen often enough when you're trying to protect every blade of grass so you have enough.
And now we have beautiful, glorious rain!!!!! The paddock will sprout again, the horses are all off grazing round the corner cleaning out another fantastic friend's paddocks and my shed is full with a huge surplus to flick off and cover some costs.
So blessed with the people I have around me....
