Hot Hayin' Weather

If we had full-grown alfalfa, we would be full-on haying now.  Hot and dry, the neighbors work in fast frenzy to cut, rake, bale, and stack this year's crop.  Mike moves his pipe today before we leave on a pack trip which is shorter this year for many reasons - alfalfa needing water being one.

Thanks to Mom and George who arrived on Thursday for watching our place while we are gone.  Feeding the cat, the fish, the chickens and keeping the plants watered is a lot of work and we appreciate them coming!  Thank you thank you thank you!!!

Until we return, July's picture of our place.  Stay safe out there!
