Good luck with your hay. We got our last bale into the shed about 1/2 hour ahead of the rain the other day.

We have only cut one small field of about 5 acres this year and it got washed lightly. Good luck!
Add me to the lottery fail list. 
Someone in MA is gonna be a very happy camper. Hope DH can hang in there physically to get what needs to be done, done.

Yeah, DW didn't win. I know because we don't live in MA 
Will have to wait for her to get home to see if she got more numbers than last time. Wouldn't be hard, ANY quantity greater than 0 would be more

Hay got done and everyone got enough! 
it's all stored. Our neighbors who also make hay are storing our share. DH has helped them several times with mechanical issues so all are happy with the situation.
We still have 2nd cuttings to make at the 2 previous fields.
And I found a girl who is considering leasing Duke. She'd board him at a reputable barn about 20 minutes away....
and we could have use of him when DH decides he wants to ride. DH isn't 100% on board even though yes we talked about this. 
with our current hay situation this allows me to get and use Cookies, the poa for the kids for an extended time. DH just doesn't get what an opportunity it is to have a well broke pony for your kids to learn to ride on!!! 
goes back to I shouldn't have gotten Richie.... I guess. Idk yesterday I was in the field with Richie and he just walked slowly beside me. He's awesome for hugs. 
yes I need to ride him more.
I know there's risk with a lease situation, everything from them taking off with him to him being permanently injured.... but he does need a job!! It's a risk I am not opposed to.
On bunny front Jocelyn and I showed Saturday, 3 blue ribbons, 1 BOV and 1 BOB.
got a double show in 3 weeks, then national convention. Had a bunny picked up last night, 2 go in about 2 weeks and 1 at convention. Down to 1 on the sales list though I really need to cut a couple more. At 7bucks, 6 does just with my Velveteens... 
and pretty sure both Padame and Xara are bred again. . Need to get school, chores then picking and processing corn today.

This is Doc Holiday. He's on my convention list. his head isn't great but is meeting the standard in most other every way...Duke leaves this week. Loved the barn.
am very pleased with it all. Going month by month.also my mother made an offer on an 11 acre horse farm 7 miles from us.... didn't think she'd move this way we will see.... hopefully it works out and we can be adults...
Spent the day picking up dead clumps grass.... almost ready to seed the pastures with orchard grass and clover. I am beat! I think the whole family is... busy week ahead.... prepping for our anniversary canning trip, need to take Duke to his new home, school 3 days, finish prepping the pastures. ... and probably 10 other things I am forgetting...

7 miles isn't bad. Close enough for visits when desired but not so close that the back doors are nearly connected

Well the dry grass clumps are picked up. And Tuesday night in the dark spread the seed. Now we need rain.
In the midst of that Duke went to his new home.
And made arrangements with my friend/farrier to hold 2 bunnies overnight for pick up from a gal that a month ago told me she was coming through THE week of the 10th!!!!!
Never mentioned the 8th or 9th until I asked her Tuesday what's the plan? The 2 days I have a weekend planned a get away for our anniversary!!!!
she's driving from Colorado to home in Massachusetts. So I get her trip was not bunny oriented but what the heck. I have a life outside of you picking up bunnies.
Anyways still fighting tooth and nail for my trip... mil can't change her freaking grocery night to see her grandkids.....though she hasn't seen them since freaking Easter.... and i asked her WEEKS ago. well whose fault is that? We don't hide them away... I do call invite them to have a life besides working yourself to death.... there is a 2 way road!!! I am so over stupid people
next time I will just find someone local to take the kids. My church family has way more invested in the kids than their grandparents. In any case I will get away and without the kids. Even if I have to drive them all over the place.
Sorry for ranting.... but my dh already thinks I am being a b*tch about it.... not very sympathetic he is...got love any time we want to get away we end fighting the whole weekbefore.... and he's clueless about the freaking rabbit situation... I don't need to hear how that's my freaking fault too.
