August 10th 2009
Well today was the hottest day of the year! Ken came to shoe Kacee this morning. I rode early while it was still cool. When he arrived he commented that I hadn't gotten any hay yet...I replied that we talked to Zeke, but that his truck was broken down and it would be a while before it was delivered. He proceeded to take off her front shoes and guess who drives in with a load of hay! We quickly moved everything out of the way, Zeke backed into the barn and luckily Ken helped me unload and stack (only 90 bales) We have to go to NH tomorrow to look at Colby Sawyer College...I have a feeling there will be another load of hay dumped on the floor of the barn when we get home. Surprisingly it looks like really good hay for being so late in the summer. I am glad I only need 250 bales and only have one horse now!
Great pictures! The water looks so refreshing! It sure was hot yesterday. Glad you got some hay. Will be anxious to hear about your college trip today.
I remember fondly my days in the hayfield. We always had such a joyous time tilling the land and reaping the bountiful harvest! However, seldom would we pick up a fishfork or hayhook for a mere 250 bales as we were euphoric only after harvesting 500 plus bales and mowing them away on a beautiful August afternoon.
