Field, Winter


Plastic marshmallow bales hold the energy of the summer field while it sleeps through the long, silent months of winter.

Sandy said it. I can feel the frigid cold.
Also, I admire that you took these "marshmallows" on. I never think of painting the plastic ones!!
I always wonder: wouldn't the hay get mouldy in those plastic wraps?
I guess not or they wouldn't do it.

Mary, the hay ferments in the plastic and becomes sileage, which is nutritious feed for cows.
