Haying!

The men started haying yesterday and put 250 bales of beautiful, soft green first cutting in the mow. After a series of soggy springs some real haying weather is a welcome change.

This is great news!! I can just imagine that wonderful smell :)
I hope this year is an awesome haying year for everyone. Farmers could surely use a break.

Woohoo!!!

The farmers have started haying here too. Love to see the hay stacked in the barn!

Nothing like the smell of fresh hay drying in the field prior to baling.

Here's hoping your guys can get a bounitful supply of hay in this year.

Wow! You guys are early. I don't think we will start for two more weeks.

What a fragrant thought. I want to get into the countryside to smell fresh mown hay.

Here's an admission: I swear. I think that's the first time of seen 'mow' (as in hay mow) in print. I've heard the word all my life, but I don't think I've 'read' it.

Hmmm. It's actually the same as 'to mow' the lawn. OK. I think I've adequately revealed myself as hopelessly backward :-)

Deb, very early for us. Can't let the dry weather go by though..thanks for the good thoughts. Hope you have a great season too!

Dani, yep

CTG, it gives you a good feeling to have it there

Joated, thanks, we are hoping.

Linda, we are way ahead of normal, but we needed the hay and had the weather. It is nice stuff too

Cathy, no reason you would know...probably not too much mowing away of hay in your life. It isn't pronounced the same though. When you cut it, mow is pronounced with a long "o". When you store it away it is like, "ow, I hurt my finger." lol
