Dismas is bailed out and cooks keep coming!

It's interesting how one word can mean so many things. The residents of Dismas Family Farm have heard the word bail before, but it wasn't used to describe a square block of hay. This morning the residents of the farm, collected over 200 bails of hay! With Ward as the trusty tractor driver, the residents flung bails of hay onto the trailer while Kevin and Joe M. stacked them high. The bails were then unloaded onto the second level of the barn (see picture). It was one heck of a morning, but after it was all done, the residents felt accomplished and surprised that it had been done so quickly. In the afternoon, several residents pounded the pavement in search of jobs, while others collected blueberry bushes that were generously donated to the farm. Many are anxiously awaiting the weekend.

We want to continue to thank our cooks. Tuesday night we were served a delicous meal of chicken, creamed corn, pasta salad, and ice cream for dessert. Thank you to the folks from the Brookfield Unitarian Univeralists. We would also like to thank Gale, Dick, Martha and Dave who cooked a wonderful meal of tacos and oriental coleslaw. The residents keep talking about how good it was!
