Here’s the donuts:
Plain glazed were across the front, chocolate iced with cream filling on right, then cinnamon rolls.

@mystang89 these are from Jeff’s bakery in Jeffersonville. Close enough for y’all to check out sometime. Of course, I think our local one is better but reaction from kids was worth it.

@RollingAcres Dad had severe pain and swelling around his surgical site. They did a CT and found free air in his abdomen which is a medical emergency. I left work and hurried down thinking he was headed to surgery (my mom had been told he was also.) General surgeon and on call urologist collaborated and concluded that everything was post-nephrectomy related and gave him some more pain pills and another antibiotic.
Well, with those delicious looking donuts, I'd "fake" some severe pain and make up some swelling too! :lol:

Now to figure out what materials I have so I can make a slow feeder for the hay....

@Latestarter made one from 2"x4" horse wire with a tray under it to catch the drops. Joe! Can you post a picture?

I got the pallet from Home Depot out back. You can see the size stamped on the third pic. Some laying around 2x4s and some old trash wood fence boards from HD in their trash. Got the 2x4 no climb fencing from Bay. Had to buy the hinges, corrugated roofing, and roofing screws. Had left over decking screws for the actual build. This was built to hold the smaller square bales (45-65 lb) The large square bales (~100lb) won't fit so need to be placed in there in quarter sized pieces. Just swing the roof up and drop a whole bale inside.

So a little sad, a little proud....
went out to check everyone's h2o yesterday afternoon, took Rufus with me. He ran off a hawk! Then stood over my favorite little pulley crying. Poor fellow was upset that his critter had been got! I told him "thank you bud, you did your best". He didn't want to come back in after that so I put him in the goat yard to stand watch til everyone went to roost. I'm sad over Ariel my bird, but proud of the young boy for doing his job. Now if only I knew how to train for herding....

This is was I originally had in mind.... but I like the sides and roof of your design.... May try to incorporated the two. We had a deer stand we are going to be taking down out by our pond. It has some really good preasy re treated pegboard walls.... I like the sides and roof for weather protection.... we use the small square bales. I'm sure we will end up feeding two a day for our three goats and horse come winter......
