Yesterday was an OK day... I mowed the hay field south of Grandma Moffat's home on Monday, and got Jake to help me put it up yesterday! He raked, you can see him coming in the background and I baled... inbetween taking pics...haha.. This field is bermuda grass, and this is the second time we put it up this year. First time it made 96 big round bales.. 5' by 5'. So far today, about 2/3 of way done and it has made another 45. This is a lot considering that with the drought the last three summers, this field had not been put up at all. I worked it this spring, and like a gardener who wants to work his garden up and plant things and guess what grows... yelp, bermuda grass... haha. Actually, Dad and I thought if I worked it up it might be good for the field, and when on the day I broke the ground up in March, the hawks came by the hundreds, red tails... looking for grubs..and they had a feast! It was unbelievable. I think all the hawks in the world came out that day!!! Anyway, wanted to share what Jake and I been doing. Jake is in training for the herdman position at the Shultz Ranch, and Dr. Shultz is away on vacation this week, so Jake runs over and takes care of things there, and then comes back over across the road and helps me, too!... Then, we both get to eat with Grandma at noon, kinda nice too!! Will get more pics up when we get the hay done... still have one field to cut, about another 25 acres and then we will be thru for the fall, I think, and hope! Later... Oh, great to hear from niece Cortney, will post a note about her NOTE ... before long.. she is OK!!!
