A few days ago I mentioned the birds roosting in the baleing wire stack. Here it is, and in the foreground the endless supply of soiled bedding that comes out of the pens a wheelbarrowfull at a time. I am always glad to see somebody else dumping the barrow. This material is piled up with the help of a tractor and it slowly decomposes. I can have all of it that I want for my gardens. Wonderful stuff. The haystacks are at the right of the picture, they will all be gone before there is enough grass to feed the animals. Beyond all these things you can see misc old farming equipment, some still useful and some not. Most old farms have a similiar boneyard. It doesn't get hauled off because it just might be found to be useful for something, someday, and sure enough, if it was gotten rid of, then right away a use would be found for it. Besides, moving it would take time and no farmer ever has enough time. Much of this stuff came with the place about 30 years ago and hasn't moved since! Paul keeps saying that he should advertise it on e-bay and make a fortune, yeah, right. Hasn't happened yet, probably won't.
