It's Hay Season !

On the way home today I noticed that several neighbors cut their hay fields today. We have had a lot of good rain lately thanks to the tropical storms and hurricanes that have occurred so far this hurricane season. So we all are looking for a successful year.

I love the smell of fresh mowed hay. I love the feeling of living on productive land that will help our livestock and our property. We have already had our first cutting of the season. A little disappointed as our field did not yield very many bales but we had not had much rain in the months before so it was kind of expected. We got a good growing going on out there right now so the second cutting should be pretty good.

Hopefully, with a good season (and no equipment malfunctions) we can get 3 - 4 more good cuttings.

Wish us luck. The cows love it during the winter with plenty to eat as a supplement. And my sweet doggie has a nice comfortable, warm bed throughout the winter.
