Hay, but not enough

Turns out we got all the hay our regular supplier had left. Unfortunately, 140 additional bales is not enough for us to feel secure. It should last until at least some time in May, but we know from experience that it is very hard to locate any good hay that early in the spring, so we are probably going to have to go hunting for another hundred bales now from some other supplier.

Anyway, it's all stacked and the hay wagon is pushed out of the barn and placed where Jeff can pick it up as soon as he's ready for it. We're both tired and have sore hands, as usual. Tess got to go play in the pasture for a couple of hours while we worked, since her usual pen has to be dismantled to make room for the hay wagons to pass in and out of the arena. She was happy about that. Hopefully she didn't pig out too much. The grass is still green, but at least we haven't had any heavy rain for a week or so and it's starting to turn brown from the cold nights.

It was a pleasant day, at least. Blue skies, temperature in the 50s, altogether nice.
