The grass is flourishing, and we’re just about to the end of tossing out hay daily for the hungry horse herd. Shown above, with a genuine porcelain Chairman Mao lapel pin for scale, is a sampling of the grasses and forbs now available to the four-leggers. Yesterday morning only three showed up for feed in addition to the usual three we feed supplementarily with the expensive stuff. We tossed out only one bale of grass hay. This morning most of that hay was still uneaten. As we arrived at the corral, a bunch of horses wandered in, sniffed at the hay, and gathered around the pen area to beg for the goodies we were passing out to the old and infirm.Our hay stack, once 200 bales strong, is wrapped in a huge tarp to protect the remaining 50 or 60 bales from weather. If we get through to springtime without having to buy more hay, it will be terrific!

How wonderful! I remember years when we fed through January and most of February.
More rain predicted this week. The grass gods are smiling on us.
You bet! Check the next blog!
