Hay In The Fields And The Barn

Linda went to work at the FRYSC office this morning and Stacey and I were at home. We started the day by taking Daisy out of her stall for a run around the hay fields.
  
I'm going to start calling the shed, in the picture above, an equipment shed, instead of a hay shed because I don't store hay in it and it is full of farm equipment. We drove down to the mum patch and took a look at how well the mums were doing and how well Regina and Linda had cleaned the weeds out of them. I will probably run the tiller through the second half of the patch early tomorrow morning.
  
After a lap around the mums, we let Daisy out of the Mule and she took off down the creek and around the hay field.
  
  
The hay has been cut short and with the recent rains it is coming back quickly. The wind blew most of the remaining roofing off the old barn and broke several limbs off trees around the fields too. Stacey drove us back to the farm and we led Daisy to her stall and put the Mule in the barn loft. The hay is in good shape stored in the barn loft and is curing quickly.
  
There are about 200 bales of hay in the barn that was cut this season. The brown ones on the floor at the left are several years old and will be tossed out.
