Still responding to immediate needs.
In yesterday’s post, I wrote:
Then yesterday, around 2pm, we dropped everything to race up to a farmer at Wolf Creek, just a dozen miles North of us, to inspect some hay that was for sale. It was great quality and at $5 a bale the deal of the century. So by the time we had loaded up some bales onto the trailer and returned, unloaded them into the hay loft, organised a bigger trailer from neighbours Dordie and Bill, and I had recuperated under a shower, there was no time at all for today’s post.
Well that larger flatbed trailer was borrowed on Monday evening and early yesterday morning we set off again to Wolf Creek to purchase more bales of hay.
This time we had room for 60 bales, the equivalent of 4,200 lbs in weight. Each bale had to be lifted onto the trailer and stacked carefully.
But at last it was all done, great thanks to Robert who was up at Wolf Creek, and then it was time to head for home.
Impossible not to ignore the beautiful countryside that is so typical of this part of Southern Oregon. (Wolf Creek is less than 15 miles from home.)
Anyway, once back home somehow Jean and I managed to unload and stack all 60 bales, by which time my creative juices were no longer to be found.
So apologies and see you tomorrow.
Learning from Dogs 
Paul no need to apologise. I think sometimes our energies have to be channelled to helping our selves and those around us. And I am certain your horses will be delighted with their Hay.
Will catch up soon using mobile device today.
Lovely photo’s too. I enjoyed reading

Doing this for your horses seems like the normal thing to do… don’t you agree…? I think it is great that they are treated so kindly. I do stuff for little Lizzy that I wouldn’t do for myself..l lol and it is great fun to do something for her… guess it is the same with you and your horses… Thank you for sharing…

My pleasure. I should have added to my post that it wasn’t just my creative juices that disappeared. Most of my arm muscles seem to have gone the same way!! Thanks for stopping by and leaving a comment.

You and Jean are such good parents. I am a few days late in getting to this post so I am thinking the aches have subsided. You are right though, the things we do for our children………..

If we are good parents it is simply because of the unconditional love our ‘children’ offer Jean and me! You are very generous to us.
