Good Morning!--Chat thread

My new loft is full!
The hay crew quit for the day!
Something about it getting close to 90 degrees and not wanting to be up in the loft of the big metal barn? They are going to finish up in the morning! Since I won't have the 2 year old to watch, they are probably going to expect me to help?

Hi Bronco Hollow!
Funny you should mention my naps! The father of the 2 year old really wanted to keep the kid on his nap schedule, so being the nice person I am, I was quit happy to bring him home and put him down for a nap!
We slept reeeeeal good!

Good morning everybody!

We are supposed to be finishing up the hay thing today, starting in 10 minutes? I haven't fed my critters yet and Hubby and the boy are still in bed!
I guess I will just wait and see if the nephew shows up on time. He can wake them up, I really don't want to!

how much hay do you have in the loft.yes working in the loft is hot work.

Good afternoon!

The hay that is ready for today is raked. It will be round baled but, it sure was nice to head down the road to the other farm all by myself! Peace and quite and time to think without being interrupted.

Good afternoon! We got all our hay yesterday...300 bales picked up in the field 40 minutes south of here and stacked in our barn. Somehow, even with 50+ more bales than last year, we actually have more room to move around, which is great because I'll be moving my chicks to their coop in the barn either this evening or tomorrow!

Can't imagine actually having to be the one haying...just helping get bales out of the field (squares, not rounds), then pulling them off the stacks on the car trailer to hand to DH so he could stack them in the barn was more than enough workout for me, plus allergies were terrible. I'm so glad we're done with that for the year! Now we just need to keep up with the weeds in the veggie gardens!

 

[Farmer Kitty]

amysflock, that's cheating! We've been haying today and breaking down. DH just headed out to the field with the round baler we bought a little while ago, I hope it goes good.

It's 5 pm I guess I better go milk the cows as I already an hour late. :/ I hate being late.

We are officially done with "hay season, round 1"!
Supposed to have rain this week, so I don't think we will be starting round 2 just yet!

Kitty, sorry about the break downs, I know how fun that can be! Last year is known as the hay season from heck! I think the only thing THEY broke this year, was the chain on the ladder!
I didn't break anything!
I just have to repeat, I didn't break anything!

Amy, 300 bales, out of the field? You had it too easy! When we start round 2, your welcome to come on over and have some real hay season fun!
