Rolled Hay is Done
The hay fields across the creek from the house have been mowed, raked and rolled. They mowed the hay Tuesday, and then it rained Wednesday, Thurday, and was cloudy Friday morning. Saturday Phil was over there using some kind of rake to spread the hay out and 'fluff' it up so it would dry faster. He mentioned they might roll it that evening if it got dry enough. So, it was Sunday afternoon, about 2 when I noticed they were over there again raking the hay into rows and rolling it with their roll baler. I set down by the creek in the shade watching them work when Phil pulled up on his tractor, he had been disking in some seeds on another farm down the road. We sat there watching and talking for over an hour, until Steve and his boy were done. They all pulled over in the yard and talked a little while. I guess they will be square baling hay later in the week for me.
