Self-Recycling

Posted on April 20, 2024April 20, 2024 by equipsblog

We've heard of dust to dust
but never grass to grass.
This self-recycling hay bale
is in its own first class.

Happy Earth Day!

  Thanks, Audrey. I had been noticing those hay bales for a few months and finally had my cellphone to take a picture of the lush grass growing out of bales that were used for seating in a backyard last fall.

I have often watched old bales moldering in fields for years, Glad to see they are able to turn over a new leaf. Have a good day Pat. allan

  It was a surprise to me so see it. Not sure if it was luck, not being bound too tight, or maybe having a mild winter. Thanks for commenting, Allan, Happy Saturday.

Thanks, Michele. I have walked by those hay bales for weeks, watching the grass grow on them and finally remembered to bring my cellphone to take their picture.

We cut down trees and weeds grow in the cracks of the cement we lay down to replace the trees.

Thanks, Andrea. Somehow the approach of Earth Day, escaped me when I wrote the poem after finally remembering to get a picture of the grass that has been growing on those hay bales for over a month.
