They grew them big!!!!
Always been curious about women's hats with the large front projection. Meant to keep wind blown dust out of their face?

Known as a bonnet or sun bonnet. That picture was taken in Nolan County Tx, about 45 minutes south of Abilene. The sun can be brutal there.

The well,with it's unique stucco covering was still there last time I went by that property up in Woods County Texas , tho no longer used.
@greybeard Wood county is just a few miles north of us, where is the well?

It rained pretty much all day long and started clearing off a bit just before sunset so it wasn't a real productive today. I worked in and around the hoop house shelters and the bigger shop shelter to clean up all of the manure out and about. A big part of it was already decomposing so it got put on one of the big garden beds.
The fescue and rye that I planted several days ago is already up and 3-4" tall in the big fallow field that I sprayed last month. I plan on using the two paddocks closest to the shop as nursery pens when we start to lamb in a few months. It looks like I was heavy on the seed with the fescue as it's coming in way too thick. I did wind up buying a harrow at tractor supply since the grass that I had cut had way too much residue to get seed down through it. It worked pretty good.

.....the sunset was beautiful and glad your seed is smiling at ya.....

Pretty much the same here Fred... gray and damp all day. We were supposed to see some sun. no such luck. I could see the clouds starting to thin out at dark, so maybe sun tomorrow. But then humidity is supposed to be back up as well as temp.

Drag harrow I presume? Does it just rearrange the residue from haying?

Yes, drag harrow. I attached it to the Ranger and moved at a fairly fast clip so the loose grass was flying. It literally tosses everything up and since I had some dry weather for several days prior to seeding, it worked really well.

So basically it separates out the stuff that packed down keeping the seeds from getting to the soil?
