Few More Snapshots of the Past

I love this photo. Haystacks are a thing of the past. How wonderful it was to see fields of neatly stacked hay. There is a definite skill in knowing how to properly stack hay. Now the square bails are being replaced by the round bales. A field of round, plastic wrapped hay rolls can not compare with a field of haystacks!
