We Made a Haystack!


Isn't it great? We built a round frame about four feet high and piled hay on while we walked around in circles to tamp it down. It grew and grew throughout the afternoon as we put more on. Once we had gotten it as big as we needed it, we raked the outside so that water would shed off, instead of trickling inside and rotting the hay. A couple of inches of the outside will be lost to sun bleaching and rot, but inside it'll be nice and green for those snowy winter months!
