And hay on the ground!
I don’t have much in the way of pictures of either I am afraid. As you can imagine it has been pretty busy.
Just wanted to pop in and see how you all are and let you know that we have piglets in the barn. Seven. Very pretty babies. Once again one is very tiny so we will see how that one goes.
The weather has swerved from cool and wet to very, very hot with a nice dry spell to dry the hay and hopefully allow the machines into the fields. Three or four days of this would be great. I would love to get some dry hay in but it is miserable for Poppy.
Friday again!!
I will take photos today and be back tomorrow. First thing to do today is get the coop ready for the next visitors. Check in with Poppy. Then milk the cow, feed everyone, race off to work and race back for the hay baling and more miking and more feeding. John’s hand is getting there but still not up to lots of heavy lifting. He will be back on board for the next cut I hope.
Friday. How on earth did that happen so fast?
I will take lots of pictures for you today.

Congratulations!
Oh wow! A small reprieve in the weather = a huge chunk of welcome work for you! If you’ve got to be busy, it might as well be hay, piglets and more airbnb guests, and other useful demands on your time. Tightly crossed fingers for good drying weather without making poor Poppy too hot.
imho every week happens so fast… and I don’t have near as much happening as you do 😨
I agree! Something To do with age I think
Have just checked on Illinois weather . . . with five days of rain in the coming week smiles are distant ! Glad you have the work and BnB ! Glad about Poppy also naturally! Am hoping John’s hand is improving but the dirt and required strength of outdoor chores will demand awhile . . . don’t know from where the patience is supposed to arrive . . .
That is a very grim outlook Eha. Don’t be so sad – we are doing ok! Getting the hay in and babies in the barn. Hope you are well.
Not sad ! Frustrated none of us can really DO anything but be there . . . !
Congratulations on the piglets! My son is delighted. We look forward to pics soon. Hoping for the dry hay. Thinking if you every day with your busy work schedule. Hope you are not too tired.
