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

You are priceless!
Well, it’s not like John can actually take *credit* for Lady Astor being pregnant! Silly man!
Lots of wonderful news – you deserve it. So glad you are feeling less tired. And as for that first photo – left me breathless, it’s stunning!
Congratulations! getting the hay in, in the nick of time. That must be so satisfying.
Lovely to begin work reading that ‘many hands make light work’ is indeed oh so true! So many ticks today: bet you are counting them instead of sheep to fall asleep 🙂 !
The sight of Little as a blur made me so happy! Stores of hay is also a happy feeling. The pop-up rains have all missed us. We are so very dry!!
Pop – Up rains indeed.. they seem so random.. c
Now to get one to pop-up here and refresh the pasture! You should be in a good standing for fall?
Such a wonderful post….did you notice the heart within the heart on Aunty Del’s face….magnificent …….
For the longest time I didn’t know what “The Fellowship” was. Now I know it’s us and I’m one of it! Wheeeee!!! Love, Gayle
Haha: John and “his cow” I know there were days you’d have given her over totally to her cow whisperer. Beautiful sky pix. Yay for hay and Little! Poor Auntie Del, the sweet girl gets no peace. 😉
