We would nearly fill the old red barn with hay. Had a large Morton building for the wheat and oat straw. Loved baling the wheat cause it was so clean, but the oat straw was so dirty with chaff it was a nightmare. Bad part about the hay was it weighed about as much as me . Occasionally we'd stack the hay rack eight high just to get the last few bales on. Driving the tractor with that load then trying to back it up if you had to was a real treat, esp when I could barely reach the clutch. Always had lunch meat sandwiches and kool-aid brought out to us for lunch.
The forts were a great fall thing to do when the pond got to cold to swim in.
