SPEECHLESS SUNDAY-HAY HAY
Hay is a favorite photography subject for me because there are many farms in the area. I just took a look at Google and it seems I am not alone.
The first time I saw a bale of hay I had no idea as to what it would be used for. Since then I have found out how important it is to the food supply, since hay is a form of food for livestock.
Hay Hay!
Hay there.......my brother and I used to make LOTS of "hay" jokes......juvenile, but, keeps us smiling
Jennifer Being from NM originally I knew about hay at an early age - it is an important food source
Jennifer, love that photo! And I share your love for hay and farm photos, hope to get some this season!
Valerie I was not so young I grew up where the livestocks were always grazing outside, no need to collect hay.
Peggy I have seen several homes where hay was the insulation. yes we have some very old homes in this area.
Ben smile is good, Hay Hay :)
Karen it sure is.
Andrea I look forward to your photos. CT offers many opportunities for great farm photos.
Like the photo, like the commentary, LOL. We see so many of these in my neck of the woods since I'm in the middle of horse country in north Scottsdale.
You know i am a city girl(woman) when I say I've never seen hay nor do I know what it is cut from. I assumed it was grass.
Jennifer, great photo, probably very popular in the barn!!! Make me want to go out and take a hay ride
Jennifer,
I grew up in the country and we had cows, horses, and sheep that would eat hay. As kids when we'd see a truck or trailer of hay like that, we had a little saying where we'd make a wish on it. Kind of like "star light, star bright", but it was "Bale of hay. Bale of hay. Make a wish and turn away."
Jennifer: You have the best SS posts, your pictures are always very interesting!
Hay hey hey ..Jennifer ..Very interesting post this Sunday!

That photo reminds me of my childhood, Jennifer. I remember a particular trip back to visit family in Kansas. My uncle had a hay wagon which looked very similar to the one pictured!
I also should mention that I like that you provided the definition for hay (hay is a form of food for livestock). . .Some of us city folks might not know that:-)
Jennifer, I enjoy HAY photos as well, knowing it does provide us food! Great photo!
Jennifer there is a farm just down the street from me, and they were haying last week I should have taken a picture, but I was and did not have enough time to run back home for the camera.
Jennifer, when I was I child we used to have the "balers" come a couple of times a year. It was great fun for me....all I had to do was help Mom cook for the extra mouths and get the lemonade and cookies ready for breaks. Boy, could those guys eat! It was only five extra guys, but they ate at least eight pounds of potatoes....mashed plus meat, vegetables, homemade rolls, etc.
Later, when I was older I "got" to help throwing bales into the hay mow....whew! 95 degrees and humidity in a hay mow. FUN!
Hay Jennifer :-) loved the photo of the bales of hay. I see a lot of it in the rural parts of Virginia as well, so I'll think about your post from now on.
Awsome! Thank you for sharing this with us!
