i always looked at baling hay as one of my personal experiences that everyone should experience for themselves. it is good, honest, hard work, hauling 30 pound bale after 30 pound bale and most years done under tremendous heat 85 - 90 degrees...this year it was pleasant 70 - 80 degrees.

this is melissa, a neighbor, i babysat (god, i hate that word) for her on occasion during the winter...doesn't this picture make you believe in the world as it should be...8 year old frolicking in an open field with dog running at her side...
she was my best friend for the evening as her brothers and her and i helped bale our alfalfa field.
