First cutting of hay (and of course we had rain on it the third day of trying to dry).

By the time the hay is cut for the first time, the second cultivation has occurred in the other crops, everything is up and growing, irrigating is in full rotational swing, and the nasty Canada Thistle is about ready to bloom.

We are there, even though the real first day of summer isn’t for three more weeks.

I love the smell of alfalfa drying and turning in to hay…ahhhhhhhhhhhhhh!
