I moved and spread three bales of straw today. (Two more to go, but I got too hot!) I can hoist them off the ground, but then I roll them end to end where I need to open and use them. If Junior Farmer Ryan had seen me, he’d get a kick out of it - MONKEY that he is, shimmying up or down ANY level of height in the Big Barn! (Oh, to be TWENTY-ONE again!)

Before I took my shower this evening I stripped on the back deck and shook everything out; bra included, LOL!

Reminds me of when my sister was in High School and she, ‘worked the line’ at, ‘The Swiss Colony’ making Cheese Logs. She’d either have a bra full of paprika or parsley or nuts, depending upon the day. Mom made her strip in the garage before she could come into the house. ;)

I LOVE Country Living! I would not be averse to an outdoor shower off the back deck. Gotta talk to Beau about that; he’s usually greasy-grimy by the end of any given day.

Last fall, we had a driveway cut in to the front of the house. The excess dirt was used to fill some serious low spots around the front yard. The contractor blew straw over those areas & put down some grass seed. I think the birds got most of the seeds. Now, when I mow over those spots, the mower kicks up straw & depending on if the wind is blowing & which way, I end up with straw EVERYwhere - it’s a mystery how it gets some places. 🙄

Shaking out your bra is a serious day of good old fashioned yard work. Just hope there ain’t no varmints jumping out as you shake. (said in my best Ellie May voice. )
