April showers brought May flowers.  Same flowers, but new haybale.  

 

As soon as we finished April's display, we started thinking about what to do next.  Jon suggested a sun with rays.  So we got busy cutting and painting the rays.  It seemed like a good idea at the time, but yesterday when we went down to install them, we couldn't cut holes into the haybale.  The hay is so tightly packed, we just couldn't cut deeply enough.  (Hahaha, I say "WE".)  We ALL know what that means:  Jon, cause he does all the hard work.  I just paint.  

 

So we came back home and collected more tools:  a big knife, a pruning saw, a machete.  He utilized all of them to install these 9 rays.  It took about 45 minutes!!!  

 

We learned not to try to do THAT again.  Stick to paint and cute cutouts that can be screwed into the hay.

 

We hope you like seeing our work.  We love doing it!!!

 

HAPPY SPRING!!!
