What a mixed blessing we are having.  We are still experiencing lots of wind (this sure is an odd year for wind).  And some pretty nice rain, which is good for our semi-arid region. 

The hay is ever so close to first cutting, any day now (that is why we are getting rain ….chuckle  ),

but … sigh..

Here is what happens with a mix of tall alfalpha, heavy wind, and lots of rain. 

The alfalfa falls over, sometimes twists on itself, and can even lay flat.

Oh well, we can still cut it, it just takes longer and it a little harder to do.

Have a Happy Memorial Day!      See you on Tuesday.
