A Soft Morning–Tuesday, July 21, 2015

Posted on July 21, 2015 by Dayphoto

It rained during the night, leaving the earth moist and damp with a faint chill of autumn in the air.

Fall is just an illusion, for tomorrow the heat of summer returns, gradually bringing with it triple digit weather—perfect for cutting the alfalfa to make into hay.

But today …. today Terry is cultivating the pinto beans and I am getting closer to finishing painting. (I have the top of the house done and part of the north side. All that is left is the large area of east side and a section of the front/north porch.)

A very ordinary day! But the sheer ordinariness is comforting in and of itself.

Your friend,

Waiting for Hay—Tuesday, July 21, 2014

Posted on July 22, 2014 by Dayphoto

We have one field done.

Another to go.

The gentleman who called and said he wanted to come down on Friday (of last week) to check out the hay for purchase right in the field.

Never showed up. Hay doesn’t wait. It gets dry to one point and then starts to become crispy sticks…no hay anymore.

Some people just don’t do what they say they will do. Oh, well, life goes on and so do we. 🙂

So we had to go ahead and bale hay. We hauled one field last night. Then probably on Wednesday Terry will get the other field baled so we can haul that evening.

Busy, busy!

Your farm friend,

Linda

Late but at Least I Made it—Monday, July 21, 2014

We had to leave the house early today (although we always get up early —there is water to change and other things to get done). I didn’t have a chance to post my daily post.

We (Terry and I) had been invited to Paonia, Colorado, to see a large Solar Training Facility . We were to be there early. Since Paonia is an hour away from us we had to keep moving or be late.
