It’s been a great week for machines here at The Meadow.
One afternoon Robert was working away applying a new coat of gravel to the back paddock at the same time that Ken was raking the hay in the neighbouring field.
Look at that tasty crop!
Mostly the herd stepped off to the side … just enough to let the machines pass by.
When the action calmed down in the backyard …
… we simply moved to the front. I wondered if one of the donkeys was going to try to ‘surf’ on the drag harrow! My bets would be on Rosie! 😉
Once we’d worked most of the dips and hills out of the new gravel bed a new bale of hay arrived.
While I tackled that …
… Ede worked at adding a little more gravel to the steep hillside path.
It is amazing how heavy gravel is!
We’ve heard rumours that in some other places in the world the donkeys would actually be the ones pulling this load … but Darby just laughed at the absurdity of that idea! 😉
By lunchtime the paddock looked TREMENDOUS and we humans retreated for an afternoon snooze! Phew!
