Muddy Monday (complete with Macro)


All last week teaser clouds rumbled around the horizons, but it didn't rain. The guys went after hay like crazy, finished up a bag and got another on the bagger. Last night there was a new set of ominous boomers rolling by and Alan asked on the way out to chores if I wanted the computers unplugged.

Nah, just another empty threat.

Not

Within an hour it was pouring
(just so you know, we didn't need it.) and we really got dumped on. Ramped the humidity up even more and it is predicted to get up in the nineties again today. Guess we are going to get summer all at one swoop.

The guys are so close to finishing up the hay and really need to bale a few thousand...it can stop now.

  4. Nice shot! I hear you with the rain. I like everything nice and green and am happy to finally have all my horse hay in the barn (well, the neighbor's barn, but ready to deliver, so I shouldn't jinx myself by saying it's already in OUR barn ;-). However, I still don't have my sheep hay. It's almost September and I'm a little worried. So it could stop raining for just a little while please...

    Please send some of that rain here (minus the humidity). Somehow we've missed out on our monsoon season.

  12. I love how crisp your photo is.
    I've got my fingers crossed that you'll get that hay in before your next rain. With all of the rain you've had I'm surprised you don't have waterfont property by now.

    Colleen, thanks it is one of my favorites

    Lisa, thanks, it is that little palm tree with the pompom top that you and Matt gave me a couple years ago..I think for my birthday. Thanks for the beets and zuccs by the way, which are fantastic!

    Linda, a double thank you!

    Laughing Orca, thanks, I truly wish we could send it. Too much for us, but useful somewhere else.

    Ed, thanks, if Phoenix needs some rain I know where they can find it.
