Today for hay?
The hay is not in yet. We had threats of storms all day long yesterday and it takes a good hour for the hay man to get here in his tractor and I pay him by the hour plus the hay just was not drying anyway. So I was not able to commit. The storms just kept passing us by though!
So hopefully we will bring in whatever is dry today. Today is Alissa’s last day – after this I have no-one to help me throw the hay up until the weekends. Today we have to bring in the hay.
Fingers crossed.
Pictures.
Moving fast!
This morning I have to haul the big Hereford steer out as he has been sold (I loaded him into the stock trailer last night). I need to be driving down the lane by 5.30am. Then when I return: milk the cowm then hitch up the rake and turn the reluctant hay. Then call in the hay men and stand by to throw bale after bale in a hurry. Thank goodness Alissa is still here to do the chores for me while I am on the road and help with the hay. .
Yes. A busy day.
I hope you have a busy day to.
Love celi
PS – I found my glasses after a couple of weeks of them being lost and MY GOODNESS – this house is filthy!!!

Thank You So Much For Your Kind Help with Maintaining This Blog
Keeping my fingers crossed for you…
Yes – me too!
My word! You certainly have a day and a half ahead of you. Thank you for the lovely photos, and best of luck with the hay.
Yes – just in for a moment – waiting for the hay man to get back – we are ready to roll i think
Remember to breathe…
There are a lot of crossed fingers that all goes according to plan.
I have two or three plans – hope one works
Oh happy day! I guess those clouds did have strings after all! The photos are beautiful. Do you think Boo knows that there is a woman in Italy with a very soft spot in her heart for him? Please tell him.
I will tell him – he has been a wee bit naughty today and had to sit in the basement and think about his behaviour – he snapped at a kitten
The pigs and dogs are having a good time! I hope the weather holds for you.
I do too – so far so good – touching lots of wood! c
I am out of breath just reading that. Good luck, it will work out. I have a feeling.
Heaps of breath! Close to the end now – hopefully my hay man will come in the next few hours and we can get into it
If I lived close to you, I would be right over to help you with your hay! Hope someone shows up to help you!
I have Alissa. People all wrk around here – no farmers at home to help out. c
Well on your by now; bon journée!
Wishing you drying winds and limitless skies for a happy Haying Day! Silly Boo: ). Wonderful WaiWai – he’s looking great! And thanks for the full moon reminder! (Full Harvest/ Mabon Moon in September: )
Looks like those pigs love their Burdock root; )
and the grubs in underneath them
OMG! I laughed when I read that you found your glasses, I found mine in a kleenex box just as I was about to recycle it. They were lost for more than 6 months!
I found mine on a shelf in the barn – so dirty I barely say them
I found JTs in the garden a few years ago. Never lose hope!
You will have several days of dry and cool this week. I really like the pictures of the dog with chewed up frisbee. Get it a new toy!
It really has been a cool damp summer –
Super busy day!!! Hoping all goes well and that the hay is safely in the barn by day’s end!!! xo
same hope from me!
Looks like Boo’s halo has slipped a wee bitty!
Christine
YES!!! wonderful! c
Just take the glasses off. We must have gotten all the rain that went by you! Happy hay day!
I am glad you did – we missed a number of rain showers by a whisker.. c
Good luck with the hay!! Hope it finally comes in right. Enjoyed the pics too. And glad you found your glasses!
They are 2 dollar glasses from the dollar shop – you think i would just but another pair – but who has time to shop!!
Busy day! Wai looks good. 😀
He does – those big wounds are shrinking closed a bit every day –
HAPPY DAY! HAPPY HAY DAY!!! YAY!
Haha Don”t do the dance quite yet – lets wait til the hay in in the barn!! c
OH HOW I UNDERSTAND!!!!
Here’s to a good, solid, productive, and rain-free day!
Thats the one!
Poor Boo! No more chasing and jumping for the frisbee for him. He really did love it but I guess chewing on it will have to do.
True – all he can do is carry toys.. c
Loved the photos today C! Everyone looks so happy and healthy…Wai Wai is just looking wonderful..what a miracle! It’s so ironic…you praying it doesn’t rain and we praying it will…We are burning up out here on the left coast! Ugh! We’ve had no rain all summer…even here in Western Washington it is dry, dry, dry! 🙁 This morning the sun is just an orange globe from all the drifting smoke from eastern Washington.
Anyway, I hope you have a good hay day and that the rain holds off till it’s all in…better yet hope it just drifts this way instead!
Glad it looks like you’ll get the hay in all right. That was very naughty of Boo to snap at a kitten, he really does know better. I’ve found I’m much happier only wearing my glasses to read, write or work on the computer, the rest is best left a bit out of focus. If the spouse isn’t happy with the cleaning the job is available and Smoky doesn’t care as he provides most of the stuff (shed out fur) to sweep up anyway. Have a productive and happy day.
Great photos today. It all looks so calm and peaceful and like it is chugging right along. it is, of course, but with a lot of behind the scenes planning and working. It is a sad statement that most people that are on farms nearby are “off to work”.
I really need to go and get new glasses but if the light accompanying our shift toward summer is anything to go by, this house is well due a spring clean. August-September winds and no rain since June haven’t helped the dust situation. No time yet though, so we won’t look too much. It will wait.

So glad to see Wai Wai looking so good! Hope the hay is in by now.
Happy haying and great pictures. At first I thought Boo had a cone on and wondered what had happened. Closer inspection revealed the happy grin. Trickster!
I had the same experience recently when I wore my glasses into the bathroom and realised how dusty things were. Cleaned it immediately but I won’t make that mistake again… wearing the glasses, I mean 😉
sensible girl!!
Quickly! Lose those glasses again!
