  1. Phew! It's finally finished after all the rain, breakdowns and delays. I'm sure Dad's very happy to see this project completed, and I'm sure the recipient of all that feed is very happy, too. What's next?

  2. I am not surprised you are tired! I am in awe of the amount of work involved in farming, Crystal. But i suspecat that it must be hugely satisfying to look at the finished bales. Are they bales? Hmmm. My farming knowledge is shocking, I confess.
