Haying and Togetherness

Grey catbird at dawn

Making hay is what you do when the sun shines. It is shining this week, so that is what the boss is doing, as soon as the dew is off in the morning. In fact there is a load in front of the elevator waiting to be unloaded and another in queue behind it. Good times. Good times....

 After a winter of paying as much as five bucks a square bale for the stuff, every bale that chugs its way up that elevator looks good to me. And the boss puts in good hay...some of what we bought this year was worse than terrible. It hurt to have to feed it, but there was simply nothing around to be bought, thanks to the floods. We finally happened upon a really good supplier late in winter, on Craig's List of all places, and if we run out again this year, we have already discussed working with him again this year. A big relief that.

The boy came home last night and bought us all dinner, while Liz and Jade brought down the finish mower they found this week and worked on the hay field...er lawn...behind the house. Everyone all home at once, talking and enjoying being together...even better times.

Sun coming up on another beautiful June day, thank you Lord for the best times.....
