Bum Hay

Sold as grass, looks like straw, and the animals won't eat it
Sometimes we paint ourselves into corners and then make mistakes when we try to get out.
Last week we found ourselves out of hay. Well, we did have half of a bale left, but I’d say we were plum out. I drove down to the local feed store before they closed on Friday evening and bought 3 bales at $15 each (ouch!), which would be enough to get us through the weekend when we could get more from our usual source of weed-rich prairie hay from Ellensburg, WA at $5/bale.
Friday night a friend called and asked if we would go in with her on buying 50 bales from a farmer in Kent, WA for $6/bale. We joined her and our 35 hay bales showed up the next afternoon.
