Ever evening that it is not raining, I work in the barn. Even though the barn is now rebuilt, there remains a lot of work to do in it. The hay that was stored in it was all ruined when the tornado hit. It is now wet and moldy. We could not remove it prior to the barn being rebuilt, as the damaged part was partly resting on top of what had been the pile of bales. Rains and wind, reduced it to a pile of wet moldy hay.
So, when it is not too windy outside, I have been taking small loads of the hay out and burning it. I also have been burning brush that is from the broken trees that we are still trimming. It sure stinks up this corner of the county when I burn it.

| Hard to tell that at one time, this pile was around 75 small square bales. I don't think there is a single bale that is still intact. |

| It definitely puts out a lot of smoke when it is burned. |

Hopefully this project will be finished in the next week. I have a lot more to do in the barn, but this has to be done first. Having wet hay in the barn is a fire hazard. It is also in the way of getting the rest done. At one time, it was partially blocking the door at the end, but that door is now usable again. I have about 40% of it left.
