Hey! It's Hay!

Well, I was going to tell y'all all about the animals here at the farm today, but I've decided on something else! This afternoon we moved hay! We'd borrowed a couple of hay wagons so we had to take the hay out of them and stack it in OUR wagons. It was itchy, yet satisfying. Here is a photo journal of this project.

This is Sam on a wagon to be unloaded. I believe he is disco dancing.

This crew is starting to unload.

And here is my team! Sarah, Jason, and Sarah are all expert hay stackers.

I got the hang of it, too.

We are victorious!

Time to check on the other crew.

Sarah is helping.

Check out our enormous wagon of hay!!!!! Times two! That's Donna, the livestock coordinator lady-in-charge, showing off her tractor skills.

And Jason and Elizabeth hung out on top while we got everything squared away to drape an ginorous tarp over both wagons to keep out the rain and snow.

We tied the tarps under the wagons, which made Jen look like the Wicked Witch of the East.

That's it for the hay! But I know I promised baby animals, so to keep certain some of you happy, here are some chicks! Can you tell which of these things is not like the others? Apparently when you order more than 20 chicks from this particular chick company, they send you an extra, SURPRISE, chick! You never know what you're going to get or what it'll be when it grows up!

And here is Rufus! He was born just a couple of nights ago. The next morning everyone was shocked to see a calf in with the cows! No one was really sure whether or not his mama was pregnant, so he was sort of a surprise too! Isn't he adorable????

And last but not least, this is Molly, next to her mama, Mabel. Molly is a few weeks old and she and Rufus are already best friends.

That's it for now! We are headed to a local Rutland eatery for dinner. I'm starving and excited!
