In and under the ancient hay I'm slowly hauling into the far corner of the barn, there's treasures.
A few glass window blocks. Remember those things? In my childhood they were everywhere. Now I think they're very out of fashion. Perhaps they will return.
And a hand carved potato. Yeah. I have no idea. Perhaps its like the fake egg to show the chickens where to lay. Show the other potatoes where to grow?

Got some trouble with the hay baroness, who used to mow our meadow for the price of taking the hay. Now she reneged on the deal and wants money as well as the hay. Not sure how much yet, she's "calculating".
Meanwhile I'm calculating our alternatives:
1. Buy a flail mulcher for the tractor and do it ourselves. Hay is wasted but we're not dependent on someone else. Initial cost, but gain a mulcher.
2. Pay someone to cut, turn and bale the hay, then sell the bales ourselves. Depending on prices, we may make money or lose it and end up with a bunch of tractor eggs sitting around. Risky.
3. Find someone else who will accept the original deal and mow for the hay, preferably someone nice and local. We'll ask around a bit.
Prefer 3 because no work for me.
