These photos were taken in the evening already. We were at the Farmer's barn. The forth one that we filled! The hay went up into the hay loft with the 'elevator band'. Our men were the biggest helpers, because they are so strong. The girls were really great helpers, too, and it turned out they had more strength and energy than the Moms! Soon we will have a second Hay Day. We are waiting for "that phone call"....whenever the hay is ready and it doesn't rain! I feel like a farmer now ;-)
Diese Fotos habe ich am Abend aufgenommen. Wir waren an der Scheune des Farmers. Das war die vierte Scheune, die gefuellt wurde! Das Heu ging ueber das Foerderband hoch in den Heuspeicher. Unsere Maenner waren die groessten Hilfen, weil sie so viel Kraft haben. Die Maedchen waren aber auch wirklich grosse Hilfen und hatten definitiv mehr Engergie und Kraft als die Muetter!
Bald haben wir noch einen zweiten "Heu-Tag". Wir warten auf den Anruf wenn es heisst 'heute wird Heu gemacht' ...wann immer das Gras geschnitten ist und es nicht regnet! Ich komme mir nun wirklich wie ein Bauer vor ;-)

I think you are a true farmer now, well... definitely country bumpkins.
What great photos! It is so beautiful up there where you live! It looks like there were a lot of helpers that day. You must have felt satisfied (and tired) at the end of the day. Enjoy your time with your company and have a great weekend!
Bravo pour la suite du reportage, j'aime bien la fin de la journee avec ce beau ciel. Bravo et bon weekend
Cheer for the continuation of the report, I like the end of the day with this beautiful sky. Cheer and good weekend
Erst Heu, heute Unkraut...ohje....
Gudie, I love your blog almost as much as I love you, because it is so you.
Great picture log of your exciting adventure! Good looking hound dog in the one picture!! Looks like a walker hound. So when are you getting the cow? :o)
Ah, ah, ah, choo!
Please pass the tissues.
Thanks.
These photographs bring back a lot of memories of hard work. It used to be even harder than baled hay is. We had to fork it off the ground onto hay wagons and then horses carried the load into the barn and a giant hay fork dropped down and picked up some off the wagon and went up and ran on a track over to the hay mow where a rope was tripped and the hay dropped into the mow. A man or two stood there and forked it around to make it even. It was hard work.
I like your post today very much.

Very beautiful evening sky.
Looks like you all had lots of fun along the way - you got a good deal too I'd say. :-)

I hope your back is okay after all that hard work!
Thank you everybody for your nice comments! Actually, no back pain! I am glad about that....
Mary Ann....nice to see you on my blog. Loved your comment! I love you, too!
Jetzt am Wochenende könnt ihr Euch ja ausruhen von der anstrengenden Arbeit.
Ein interessanter Beitrag.
Früher musste ich auch oft in der Landwirtschaft helfen. Damals wurde das Heu noch lose mit der Forke auf einen Wagen geladen und mit einem Längsbalken gesichert. Ich habe es als sehr schwere Arbeit in Erinnerung
Ich wünsche ein schönes Wochenende
