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!!!

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 –
