Yippee! I’m back! The Skybeam repair guy showed up yesterday, did some of this and some of that got out his ladder, climbed up on the roof….stood up there for some time with his laptop. Made a sort of ‘ho’ sound. Climbed back down, went back to the back of his truck, took a little tiny dish out of the back of his truck, climbed back up on the roof…changed the bigger dish this out for the tiny dish thing and BAM! I had the internet!
YAY!!!
In the meantime Terry got the rest of the alfalfa cut, laying it out in rows to dry. Now we wait as the green alfalfa turns into protein rich hay.
Depending on the weather five to six days. Then it will be time to bale and haul the hay. A man called and talked to Terry for some time about coming down and checking out the hay. He is interested in doing his own baling and, of course, will haul it away. In other words he will buy the field ‘as is’. Now that would be nice!
Since today is Good Fences and Gates day over at Teresa’s Place, I thought I would slip in our neighbor’s a mile away from us. 
Here is how he fenced off his fields (he doesn’t farm, just owns a farm and rents all the land out).
And the gate to his house. (That isn’t his house, its the Gate House….his way back there!)
We did have a small cool down the last three days (just as the Sun Dogs said). We were in the 80’s—it was real nice. Today we are heading back into the low 90’s. 94-95* or so.
Anyway, it’s good to be back. I’m really far behind on comments and visiting everyone.
Your friend,
Linda

I think it might go without saying that he doesn’t farm. Other than looks I’m not sure what that fence is even for. Pretty sky.

You are so patient. Why didn’t they send someone out long before this? Is this your only choice for a provider? Anyway glad to have you connected.

Hi There, Welcome back… Not having the internet is like losing a good friend. Glad they fixed it for you… I thought you were ‘back’ when I saw your comments on FB last night… Yeah!
Amazing how crazy the weather has been all over the country. We have been very cool/mild this week–but I’m sure we’ll have our share of heat sometime this summer.
Have a great week/weekend… Hope you enjoy(ed) my post today about the Steam Locomotive Train ride we took.. I have a real passion for old trains since Daddy worked for the railroad…
Hugs,
Betsy

Yeah for your internet back.
That is quite an impressive gate house. I can only imagine the rest of the place. Pretty fancy.
That would be so awesome if the hay guy wanted to buy your hay , as we say, on the stump.
We have high fire danger here. Hot temps, low, low humidity and gust winds. Yikes. We rode and got heifers moved, now sticking close to home. A few farmers have started wheat harvest.

Linda, when I read about people in the Midwest baling hay, it always seems like the hay is cut, baled, and in the barn in 5 days. Sometimes it even gets rained on in the process. Your hay procedures sound more like ours used to be, where the hay is in the field for 5 days, then it’s baled. Grass or oat hay is in the field even longer, and it gets turned once. I wonder why there seems to be a difference in the Midwest? Out here, hay that got baled and stored so quick would burn your barn down.
