    Fun photo Beth Ann! I love me some round bales when they are sitting in the fields looking all rural beautiful BUT not when they are in front of me or passing me on a country road. How ARE those top bales staying up there? Good Morning!

    At least if it fell off it would be a “soft” hit. I was just about hit by a brand new crib, still in the packaging, that flew off of the top of someones mini van. Talk about dodging a bullet. Yikes!

      🙂 Yes–it is hay!!!! And lots of it. We always called it “shredded wheat” as kids because the bales looked like little squares of shredded wheat. That was for the rectangular bales, of course. Not sure what to call these!
      Where in Arizona do you live??? I have a brother in Yuma!
