[QUOTE="Suzie Q, post: 764742, member: 14334"] Thank you so much for coming David. It was such a lovely welcome to this forum. I do not get many visitors out here as we are too far. LOL I told you I could promise that you would be out of a City. I hope you had a lovely drive through the Hinterland to here. I am guessing it wasn't as green as it would be other times of the year. David arrived with a whole box full of Krusty Kreme Doughnuts (not how we spell donuts here!!!) and then I took so long with him outside that they did not get to have any of them. (I felt very guilty.) Hubby fell in love with the doughnuts and made me look up the website to see where they are. I think it is probably a good thing that there is not a shop any where near here!!!! Plus I printed out where they deliver to if you order online and again nowhere near here and no!!! I did not finish my tea!!!! Ian is sorry that he could not join in the tour with you. He has gone back to work this morning. He took 4 days off to have a good go at putting the shed up. All four walls and the door are up now. It took 2 and half days to put the walls up. The round bales had a lot of dead grass in them. The frost killed it. There was only grass there as we have not been able to irrigate without the bore. Normally this time of year we would be making prime lucerne (alfalfa) square bales and our cultivation would look as green as the one up on the next hill. As it is we only have few square bales left in the shed. The bore pump hopefully will go down today. When feeding out one of the new round bales yesterday Papa stepped back and wouldn't open the bale. Hubby said he just kept pointing and saying something but that wasn't enough for hubby to get out of the tractor!!!! Eventually Papa had to come to the door and told him to get out there was a snake. The snake was hanging with its head out of the bale. A red belly black snake. I have never seen that before, and snakes usually hibernate during winter, but the cold weather hasn't really hit us yet. I said aren't the bales too tight for a snake to get into, but apparently with the dead grass the hay just falls out of the bale when the wrapping is removed. The cattle were eating them last night. It will be a day or two before I know how much of them they leave behind. [/QUOTE]
