Straw and Hay

"Square" bales of straw, two different sizes

It's haying and straw baling season and has been since the crops have been ready to cut. Do you know the difference between straw and hay?

STRAW: the stalks of grain products  - such as wheat, oats, rye  - after the grain has been harvested. It contains few seeds so is not nutritious for animals but does make good mulch and bedding material.

After a few tries, I caught a bale in mid air...but just barely.

"Round bales of hay

HAY: grasses - such as timothy - or legumes - such as alfalfa - baled for animal feed. The more protein the hay contains, the more valuable it is.

Door #6 - Streets Alive!

 Sidewalk side

This door by Anne Chisolm has a nautical theme, which makes a lot of sense since Orillia is situated on the narrow channel between Lake Simcoe and Lake Couchiching. Yep, this is another door in the Streets Alive - Downtown Doors series that I've been posting about for a while.

 Boats in the harbour and their reflections

I'm a big fan of reflections!
