Good Morning!--Chat thread

[Farmer Kitty]

I took Kute Kitten back to the ER this morning. They treated her for dehydration and migraine. I'm also dealing with a migraine. She is having a hard time again. It's going to be a long day.

I don't have a migrane, but I do feel like the world has gotten heavier!
We "waded" through the neighbors hay field yesterday, and found 2 beaver dams. Talked to the neighbors, they had found another one further down. According to the weather, I might be able to start cutting Tuesday? Don't think I will be cutting my good field that should have already been cut! We do the neighbors fields too, covers our haying costs, I'm thinking that might be put on hold too!
Not gonna voice my opinion on the people who voted to ban trapping in this state.

Hope Kute Kitten is feeling better soon.

dang thewife how long will it take the hay meadows to dry out from the bever dams.hope miss kutes gets over her migrain soon.an hope you get over yours as well kitty.not fun when 2 of you are down.

Mine's better. Her's is getting worse again. I'm hoping the Ibrophrin will kick in and help. I sure hate to have to drag her back to ER. That's an exhausting trip for her to make.

Don't know how long it's going to take to dry the fields. It's pretty much a peat bog, so right now it's one big water logged sponge!
If I drive on it too soon, it turns into chocolate pudding and sucks up my machines!
Silly thing is, my garden and front yard are drying up faster than I can move the sprinkler!

Good morning everybody!

We wandered our hay fields yesterday, they actually look pretty darn good! I guess I'm cutting tomorrow. If I can at least get to the back end of the 2 fields, without sinking, it will be a start!
The neighbor decided to just write off the part of his field that was in standing water. That's a good thing! He did some work in there last summer, not sure if he got all the sticks cleaned up. We broke our baler in his field last year, really don't want to go through that again!
