Factors
The eastern sky is a fire opal, molten sun rising from the depths of its midnight mine to burn away the fog by nine. Will hay be baled by five? A yesterday's worth of repairs, in the furnace of the season, spell we hope so in bold type. Wish us luck and thank you.
The biggest reason that I left the farm in Kansas as soon as I could was haying in the heat. I was very thankful to get a summer job at a summer camp when I was 13 and I worked there for the next 7 summers; that was enough to get me well away from the hay fields and into college and then work away from the farm.
Linda if it can go wrong this summer it certainly has. Got the baler rolling and then had a flat tire on the tractor. .Ugh. They finally baled it today but it isn't very good. Thanks
OW, you either love it or you hate it I guess. Of my two brothers one held each opinion. I loved it, but I won't argue that the haymow is a miserable place. I would much rather be driving the tractor to rake hay and counting barn swallows. lol

Wishing you luck, perfect weather and the parts come in! Plus the hay gets baled and stacked!

Mom, thank you. I love you too.
