Hay Season

Saturday it was the swather. Sunday was a day to dry in the sun. And today --- yes, today was the day for raking and baling! The summer sun and spring rain had done its magic to create some bountiful bales!

As we arrived home this evening, the farmers were hard at work raking and baling. Even our heifers could not help but explore this curious process next to their pasture.

The forecast calls for rain tonight and tomorrow, so it is a good thing that all is baled. In several days, the bales will be hauled and stacked in a hay shed -- ready for winter feeding. The smell of freshly baled hay is mesmerizing. So heavenly and relaxing!
