Never see the big here. Heck, no one hays their fields any more. Small rectangular ones are what we got.

Very near where I live!

Such a LOVELY scene there!!!! It's funny that small squares are still the common choice down there - so many areas they have strayed away from them and gone to the bigger bales - mostly, I think, because finding labor willing to do the hard work of bucking bales, etc is harder to do so using large bales that are able to be managed with tractors is easier. I grew up in small square land - spent many summer days working the hay fields, I was the smallest/youngest so I usually got to drive the hay wagon, but did my fair share of bucking/stacking.

It's actually easier to style with hair that hasn't been washed.. You know all that expensive texture stuff they sell ya, you get it naturally by skipping a hair wash.

I have to figure out dinner too. I'm all out of ideas.... Cooking has become a chore for me.

I like to ask the family for requests - I ask once or twice a month, each one gives me 3-4 ideas, and then I work those suggestions into my meal plan for the month. That way it isn't all on me to come up with all the ideas because it is easy to fall into a rut and, when you are in a rut, it can start to feel really frustrating. Trying something new can help to remove some of the "chore" from it all.

You had me all the way up to #4, then you lost me........ I don't mind doing laundry, but definitely would not list it as a favorite activity, lol

Granny, mine had chicken noodles yesterday. Funny watching them run around with noodlees. Biscuits & chicken bones-skin today.

Hmmmm, speaking of laundry, just went out to start another load and realized I need to think about picking up the supplies for a new batch of laundry sauce.......*or* make mention of being almost out to my mom who will have a new batch all whipped up and ready to go by the time I get down there on Sunday
