Razors and little needles!!!

In my last post I talked about the hay that Hubby and his buddies decided to do on their own and the wonderful, wet experience we went through to put the tarp back on the mountain of hay. Yesterday, Hubby was actually home early enough for supper, which hasn't happened for nearly 2 weeks now. Being home for the first time in a long time, he decides he has work he'd like to do, one thing being removing the hay from the trailer that it's been sitting on and piling it on pallets and covering it again. Never mind the mountain of laundry that was waiting for me to do, I had to go help move the hay.

I finish cleaning up the supper dishes (still love my dishwasher) and went to change into grubby clothes. However, no one (Hubby) thought to suggest that I wear something other than shorts. It didn't take me long to discover my mistake. It took us an hour and a half to move nearly 300 square bales of hay then cover it back. By the time I got home, my forearms and legs were raw as if I'd been carrying bales of needles or razorblades instead.






This is a picture of one of my forearms this morning. This is just a small snapshot of what my legs look like. Sorry, I'm not including a picture here. As someone commented on my last post about learning a lesson with the experience, I certainly did in this one. Wear pants and long-sleeved shirts!!

  2. Ouch, oh boy. Jeans and a light long sleeve shirt was what I wore on haying days and gloves for sure.

    Hope you can find something soothing to rub on those scrapes and scratches.

  3. I certainly have learned my lesson!!! I had to explain so many times today that I did not have a rash on my arms and why. I'll help with hay again, but like you said...jeans and a long sleeved shirt for sure!!!

    ps: I got the soap!!! I'll be trying one of them out tomorrow morning. Thanks a bunch and they smell great!!
