Today was a regular Sunday, but my friends Andrew, Ingrid and Kannyn came to help. Those are welcome words from this crew - Ingrid is my water girl, filling all water barrels properly and winding up the hoses just the way I like; and Andrew and Kannyn are young strong healthy men who aren't too proud to work! Today, they moved and stacked 50 bales of bermuda hay (it took them about 15 minutes!), swept up excess old hay and took it into the goat pen; cleaned 16 stalls; and helped demolish a partially damaged fenceline to remove a hazard at the corridor to the south stream stalls. All of this in about 2 hours! So I actually got to rest for a couple of hours before having to feed the mob and put it away. Here are some pictures of the boys at work (Ingrid and I were too busy, I forgot to get a shot of her!)
The boys start the stack. the next pics show them in action - wow, they really made it look easy!
Yes, there was some fooling around....
Andrew has trouble with the concept of a hot-walker....
And here he gives Dolly a little love.
And I'm not sure the boys were truly happy with me for all the work - what do you think? :) I'm hopeful they had some fun and will come again soon...
