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.
