Half Of Hay Cut & Rolled

Saturday, I dug mums most of the day and Regina and Casey sold them off of the hay wagon in their front yard. Larry cut the hay down the creek Friday evening and Saturday. Sunday, I dug a few mums and mowed the front yard with the tractor and finish mower, then took Daisy for a run to see how the hay fields looked. To my surprise, they had raked, then rolled the hay and hauled it away. The fields were completely mowed and looked great. Daisy didn't know where to run first. She had been staying on the mowed paths along the edges of the fields, but now the paths were gone.
   
Daisy could run as far as she wanted and then she came back towards the Mule. I whistled for her and she came running. She is getting better in that aspect of her behavior.
  
We rode a little ways to another field and I let Daisy out of the Mule again. This is to let her know that every time I call her back, she isn't going to have to be put in the barn. She's learning fairly quickly what I expect from her. With the dry leaves on the hill sides I can hear her run almost to the top trailing squirrels or turkeys, then come busting back down the hill and pop out in the fields.
  
The leaves are beginning to change a little bit. The picture on the right is a copy of the other one, but with a warming filter used on it. Linda and Stacey returned from IN just before dark.
