A barn raising

We have a perfect horse set up. Three lush green pastures for rotating the horses, shelters to shield them from the weather and a huge turn around driveway so I NEVER have to back up the trailer. Backing up the trailer is not a good thing for me, as I, without a doubt, lack the skills in that department. The last time I tried to back up a trailer, I jack knifed it and it hit the side of the truck. Yeah, not good.

The only thing left on my two horse farm is a barn. Not so much for the horses, but to store hay. We've haven't needed hay up to this point but I want to be set for the winter and if a barn is going to be built, we needed to get busy.

We tossed out a few ideas, the husband likes to think big.

                                 

                                                            
We looked around the grounds to see where the best place was to build and finally got started.

I'd love to say all the neighbors came over and helped and their wives brought lunch and homemade pies,

 

                                             
but it wasn't necessary. Instead, it was just the husband and I. Actually it was all pretty much the husband, I was just his lovely assistant, but we got the job done and officially have ourselves a hay barn.

                                        
                                      
We filled it with four tons of sweet smelling bales of fresh cut hay.

                                         

                                                 
Who needs all the fancy hubba ba loo, certainly not I. I'm more of a practical thinker and lean towards the less grander side of things.

Thanks husband for accommodating me!
