What's Happening Round Here

You might say this has been hay week at Twin Oaks Farm. 

Honestly, that seems to have been the focus for the past couple of weeks. 

First there is the getting ready stage. 

The part where the equipment is greased and blades are sharpened and tractor is serviced with new oil, filters, and that sort of thing. 

Then, there is the part where the cutting takes place.  Then, there is the part where the teddering takes place. 

Then there is the part where the raking and baling takes place. 

Now, we are in the hauling and stacking in the barn stage. 

Of course, all throughout each of those parts and stages was the checking the weather prediction part.  Morning checks of weather predictions. 

Mid-day checks of weather predictions.  Evening checks of weather predictions.  Bedtime checks of weather predictions. 

We check The Weather Channel.  We check local news TV channels.  We check every weather prediction app available on our phones. 

Weather is all-important when it is hay time. Today it is hot and breezy.  Perfect hay weather.  So, at the end of the day, those fifty round bales will be in the barn waiting for winter-time. 

That about sums up what's been happening round here!
