I'm really hoping that this is a good hay year. We had several producers who've had a first cut...but not that many timed it so well. Kinda hoping we get a little wet stuff today. I've got 9 rounds, (3 3rd cutting from October - and 6 first cutting this year) but would like to get at least 6 more second cutting bales.

We may get a little more later but for the most part, it's quickly moving off due East and I now have mostly blue skies and much lower humidity.

No one has made hay around here yet...too wet...usually first cuttings are done by June 1. Praying it stops... we will need around 700 bales this year...DH hasn't wanted to plant the new field either... but at least no major storms. At the farm the soil test was done this afternoon.

No rain here, yet. 95 out there right now, so should cool down from here on into evening. Was a balmy, cool AM @70. Too hot to be out there right now, will be out in another hr or so for chores. Supposed to rain Fri night & good portion of Sat. We need it. Been dry & very hot last 10 days.

Glad all are safe! 6/1 begins hurricane "season"

:lol:

One of my kids asked me to explain how a modern day smart phone worked...

I looked at him and said that the only way I could answer that question was to tell him that there were tiny elves that lived inside the phone... they make magic, that makes the phone do stuff. And that is why if you drop the phone it stops working or goes wonky... the elves get concussions, and concussions are bad.

He looked at me and said, ah... you have no idea how they work.

I said, yep, none at all.

Ra the Sun gawd has returned to pulling his fiery chariot across the sky...

When I was a kid, a homework question was "Why does ice float?". Asked my father, he went thru the science book a little bit, thought some, drug out several World Book Encyclopedias that some door-to-door salesman had sold my mother the year before and I could see he didn't find the answer and still didn't know but then he finally said "Because that's the way God made it".
Wrote it down just that way. Next day, teacher raised her eyebrows at the answer, but she didn't mark it wrong....definitely a different era.

Thanks for the coffee! We are going to light up a burn pile this morning. No breeze, just rained, perfect morning for the burn pile.
