"Hay" - There are Too Many Titles

As I started to write this post I thought about starting it with the title, "Anything You Can Do" and tying in a video of the song from Annie Get Your Gun.  I then found an interesting take off on it where the song was put to the faces of Hermonie and Ron from Harry Potter.  I thought it was cute - google it if you have time.  Anyway - something didn't seem so funny about that approach as I sat down to write after the pictures uploaded.  I then had the Deniece Williams Song - Let's Hear It For The Boy stuck in my head.  While that was more funny I thought - the lines, "Now finish cleaning up your room - Let's see that dust fly with that broom - And take that garbage out real soon... yakety yak don't talk back."  Seemed to fit too. 

After feeling like my brain was an iPod stuck with soundtrack music in it - I decided to stop and just suggest that all these titles and songs would fit - it's just a matter of how you're feeling today.  Pick your music and let's continue :)

LADIES.  Does your man seem to be messy around the house - and perhaps a little less help than you'd like him to be?  If so - you need to show him how Trey and Eric have put their valuable home ec skills to use and applied them to farming.  Or maybe we need to call their wives and tell them the farming skills can be applied at home.  Notice the hay field below.  See how messy and un-kept it looks.  It needed to be tidied up a little - and yesterday, Trey and Eric took the initiative to do it.  They said it was to get it finished before it rained - but I know it was bothering them that there was a mess somewhere that needed cleaning.

Trey is raking.  I think it looks a lot like sweeping.  See how the right side of the picture is clean and neat - and everything to his left looks like a bedroom covered with laundry?

Just look - a few passes with this industrial sized broom and he's got it all neatly piled in rows.  YEA TREY!

Now that it's in rows - Eric is ready to help.  

With his vacuum he drives over Trey's organized rows and picks them up.  He's careful to not leave any debris behind because he knows that Trey will be upset if his sweeping efforts are not appreciated.  Men like working in teams.  Ladies - if you are trying to get your husband to help - perhaps you should suggest they work in pairs.  Shown here it seems to help them stay on task.  

Once the vacuum is full - it's time to empty it before he can pick up more.  Eric gives it a moment to compact itself so that the end result is a neat parcel that will be easy for someone to pick up (with a bobcat).  There's that thoughtful nature in men again.  Just thinking of how their job can make the next guy's easier.  

Once he's finished - he neatly places the hay back in the field.

One could make the rough comparison to a labor and delivery I guess - but that might be too much.

And the end result is this!  A nice, neat bale of hay... and a nicer, neater field that looks SO much better than it did a few minutes ago.

Now.  Of course the men think they have "cleaned" better than any woman could.  They'll come home tired and complain of sun burn, sweat in their eyes and the need of a shower.  I think that it's only right to point out - that even though this looks like they've done something great - a woman does this much work every day and sometimes much more - WITHOUT THE USE OF HEAVY MACHINES!

Have a nice afternoon!  I might not be allowed to post blogs anymore - so it's been fun :) I'll miss you all!
