Yesterday we worked extra fast in some terrible humid heat and now all the hay has been divided up and is stacked in neat rows in two barns. And then in the afternoon – it rained – poured down actually!
And we all felt smug because our hay was under cover. I hope I have enough -I always fret about hay.
Some great news – Little was caught on camera galloping across the fields like a real calf.
Completely out of focus but we will call it a Lesson in Movement – hard to believe the little fella was almost dead not long ago. The other calves across the way are also out in their field but not as boistorous as Little. But Little has Naomi to teach him to be wild.
The extra good news is that Lady Astor is pregnant though they have asked us to retest Aunty Del because her results were inconclusive. 
John is not holding back about the fact that his cow is definitely pregnant and my Aunty Del might be a little bit pregnant or might not be – no-one is terribly sure we need to take another look.
Lots of good news. The last hay cut of the year is in the barn. The last batch of chickens are in the freezer. And now Josh is beginning to sow the first of the last of this years vegetables. But it is hot – summer is still here!
Even after working with my team to throw all the hay up, I am feeling less tired today. I think we are coming right.
I hope you have a lovely day
love your friend on the farm

When things go well, your heart lightens and raises your spirits like a great glowing hot air balloon going up. Yes, you’re tired, yes, you’ve had innumerable worries about all the people and creatures under your care, yes, the rain has fallen without ceasing at exactly the wrong time, but the hay is in, the sick baby is gambolling in the fields, the sun is shining, and suddenly the world looks a whole lot sunnier! Good morning, Miss C, have a grand day, and sleep the sleep of the just at the end of it! xxxxx
Yes i slept so well last night – and today it is quiet – everyone is on stand down and I am just puttering about – lovely.. c
Lovely! The hay is in, all’s right with the world! Take a well earned Sunday rest.
Phew! You deserve a bit of extra summer too – it was a slow start this year 🙂
It was Slow you are right – I am hoping my new gardener keeps at it – we may get some more food out of that garden after all.. c
Good luck! 🙂
You must all be relieved that you got the hay in before it poured!
Gorgeous photos, especially the top one, with the sun breaking through the clouds.
Stunning pics, and too much good news is never enough. Hopefully your late summer will linger.

Some kinds of fatigue feel so much better than others. I am delighted that Little is playing in the field. It does the heart good. And the hay is safe. Life is good. Have a wonderful weekend and maybe, just maybe, have a little down time. 🙂
I have had a litlle down time this morning just puttering about alone in the kitchen with a book reading itself to me – it was lovely indeed.. thank you c
There is a very special joy in watching the rain pour down AFTER the hay is in! Congratulations 🙂
Oh yes – and literally within hours.. drenching rain too.. we were so lucky that I had so many hands to help this time.. c
