For some reason my internet has been down until right now.

Oh, well…

Terry has the first cutting of hay done…

This is the ‘getting old’ field.  The rows are not very thick.  As I’ve said before this field will be planted to something else (if there is water) next year.

We wait now for the alfalfa to dry down…usually about a week if the weather holds sunny and hot.  Sometimes faster if we have wind to go with it.

But if we have rain (fingers crossed this doesn’t happen) we stand a very good chance of the rain ruining the crop.  So no rain for AT LEAST TWO MORE WEEKS!

The alfalfa need to morph into hay, then it needs to be baled into bales and hauled into the hay yard to be sold.

This shot of the hummers is a little better…I only cut off two of the little flying jewels, but I did get one looking good.

Last night the jet streams were a delightful pink

I always wonder where they are going—home … away…somewhere for fun…just out  of here..going, going and then gone…just the tails left.

Off to work in the yard!
