The first three are mine, and the remainder are from my charming daughter, Sunflower. (Thanks, Big Muddy, for supplying the name.) :)

And the stockings were hung on the sofa with care,
In hopes that some feet would soon appear there. :)

My Dad has a much better way to load salt tubs then that. You just wait for your daughter to come home and help ya or wait until the son-in-law is along too and mention it needs done. :D

I think that's just a polite way of saying "After losing a finger and breaking my nose, Peach is making me sit in the pickup for the rest of the year while she does things herself!!" :) :)

That's about the way it is. :wink:

My nose didn't end up getting broken after all. It is only hurts just a little bit now when I wiggle it, so I try not to do that. :roll: :wink: :)

I use about the same thing for moving mineral tubs...
Except I have a couple of old hayhooks tied to nylon parachute harness-
that I can quickly stick thru the holes in the tubs and tie to the bale bed arms....

I use the bale arms to load salt tubs too. The turned tire ones don't have holes so I clamp a couple of Visegrip c-clamps to them to hook to.

Sure enjoy the nice pictures.

Nice pictures, the girls are good tree decortators! Is there a story behind the picture hanging above the nutcrackers? It looks interesting.

A guy i work with is always saying work smarter not harder! Looks like loading salt tubs with mechanical help is much easier than using manual labor! :D Now why i am still throwing small bales is another question? :roll:

Look at the bright side. In handling those small square bales of hay by hand, you do not need to invest in fancy exercise equipment or worry about special diets. You stay healthy the way nature intended. :wink: :)
