Is not on my favorites list, but it is time to be getting used to it now. In just one week we have gone from two morning singers, the indigo buntings and the carolina wrens to nobody but the roosters making a peep in the morning.
I miss them.
We solved...or rather Alan did...the not-quite robin singing every morning up at camp question. I hadn't said anything to him about the drive-me-crazy-every-morning birds that made the forest ring all around the camp, but he decided to look up the call of the scarlet tanager. He has been seeing a lot of them around and wanted to see if he had been hearing them too.
And there it was, the almost robin. No wonder I never could spot one no matter how many times I walked around the cabin peering into the trees. They may be bright red, but they are not big on showing it off. I am satisfied now at the solution to that puzzle. Next summer I will know.
Looks like we may get a decent rest of the week and the guys are champing at the bit. Hay! We must finish hay or we won't have enough feed again this winter. We lost a whole field of mowed sudex to this rain. It molded on the ground and they must now chop it on the ground to get rid of it.
I don't know why we keep getting all the rain for the whole state every year....three years in a row now of enough rain to support a rain forest. This little section of the valley gets dumped on time after time. We will get a downpour while our friends in Glen have a good day baling.
Sure hope they can get a lot of second and third cutting this week before Alan goes back to college. Crossing fingers for no breakdowns.

They have been calling for a beautiful weekend this weekend. So hopefully it is dry enough! Matt would like to try for it next weekend if he gets home that is.
*fingers crossed*
Ditto! Fingers crossed. It feels like fall is here already and the high desert in Oregon is already freezing at night. Feels like winter is just around the corner.
I'm crossing my fingers for you also!!!! To lose hay to rain is next to terrible!!! Then I'm going to chant...No more rain for awhile several times a day and send it to the rain gods over your farm and ours.

I do hope you get your hay up in good shape. It feels like fall here too and I just said this morning how short the days are becoming. I heard geese flying the other night too.
Crossed fingers--toes, too.
Forecast is looking pretty good for a few days.
Thats my baby girl.
Rain rain rain, I agree. Been going on for almost 10 years now, in the Mohawk Valley. We get more rain in ONE day than many, many places get in 2-3 years. It is really crazy. Isn't it funny how weather is always feast or famine.
Sorry to hear your hay molded. Hope you guys have good success with the current batch!
Lisa, yesterday was sure a peach. I got more work done in a few hours than I was able to all week.
Dani, thanks, mine too!
Nita, thank you as well. It is getting chilly here, but not excessively. It has been a very humid summer and the cool air feels great. Not ready for fall though
Linda, thank you. We have a little clear spell predicted and we are going right at it.
Linda, thanks, no geese here yet, but early season opens real soon
Joated, thank you. It is and I am grateful. The weeds in my garden are head high because of the wet. I need to get things cleaned up
Liz, she is!
Rebecca, people get irritated with me when I complain about rain, but dang, I am molding away here....thanks
