Making Roadside Shopping Easy

After selling quite a few mums at the Blue Grass Festival, we had the remaining mums in the red trailer along with bales of hay and pumpkins. I used the Mule and pulled the black trailer to the side of the red trailer and unloaded the mums and pumpkins on to it. Then I pulled the black trailer down to the hallway of the barn. I set the pumpkins that were in the tubs and buckets in the hallway and asked Stacey and Linda to put the pumpkins on the shelves. I went down and started the old Ford tractor and pulled the hay wagon to the side of the black trailer and we loaded the mums onto the hay wagon. Linda went with me as I used the tractor to pull the hay wagon to the creek and she stood on the wagon as I dipped water out of the creek and we watered the mums, then pulled it back to the front yard. Stacey was done with the pumpkins and I took the Mule and black trailer back to where the truck was parked and unloaded a few of the hay bales onto the black trailer. I pulled it down to the spot where the hay wagon was parked and we made a display to hide the cement blocks we were using to hold up the mum sign.
   
I took the black trailer to the hay shed and parked it, there was a wheel bearing squeaking, so I'm probably going to have to replace one of those. I walked back to the truck and pulled the red trailer over to the house trailer parking and unhooked it. I pulled the truck to the spot Regina was going to set up her display and unloaded the rest of the hay bales. I then parked the truck in the hay shed.
Near evening, I went for a ride in the Mule, planning on checking to see if Larry had mowed the hay, but as I was pulling out of the driveway, I noticed our neighbors coming down the road in their Mule.
 
Nancy and Steve had been to their place out on Jone's Ridge. They have a farm out there and built a pole barn a few weeks after I had the hay shed built. The same crew constructed both the barns. They pulled to the side of the road and we talked for a while, then said see ya, and went on, while I went over and checked out the hay fields. The fields had been cut and it looks like they will be ready to roll in about two or three days depending on how many days of rain we get.
