Crossing fingers here for another dry, sunny day. The boss has been baling up hay apace all week and has put in some really nice second cutting. He has another field just about dry and if rain holds off today he will probably get it. He needs to get us some late first cutting that they left up in the corner of the 60-acre lot too, so the pony will have groceries this winter. (Fat ponies and second cutting don't mix.)
Pale touch me notHe thought the whole fence thing was very funny by the way. And the kids and I have him playing our favorite little free farm game these days. That is popping touch me not seed pods. We love the way they explode like little bombs if you touch them when they are ripe. There are dozens of them by the gate...by the stove....etc. Every now and then you see him looking guilty and popping them when he goes down to close the gate.
Brassy sunrise, already hot

I just love that last shot! Hope you can get lots of hay for the winter!
Here's hoping that Earl stays well to the east! Some sunny yet cool and dry air from Canada will go a long way toward making hay.
Crossing fingers here that you get the dry days you need! And as JOATED says Earl and his aftermath stay far away from your place!

Oh my gosh. That sunrise pix - the title . . .
veerrry nice.
Hope you get all your hay up in great shape. I don't know why something like that would be a guilty pleasure but I've seen the same thing around here ;)
LIsa, thanks, it was such a pretty morning!
Joated, thanks, so far so good on that front. A few sprinkles, but the boss didn't have anything mowed at that time so....
LInda, thanks, so far we are pretty dry although it has gotten chilly and grey. At least they can chop when it is like this.
Cathy, thanks
Linda, thanks, makes me wonder sometimes. lol
