First Cut Hay



Ryan running the square baler


Haying is a very busy time for us.  Since it completely depends on the weather, it can also be a stressful time.  This year we were pretty lucky.  All the rain earlier this spring really helped the hay crop.  The rain stopped, and we were able to cut.  Some nice wind and warm temps. made for a good harvest.  It's so nice that the boys are now old enough to really help with all the work.



Stacked and covered



About 1,500 square bales so far.  Still about half the field left.  So hopefully the rain stays away for a while yet.

Hay Rake, for flipping hay over.  Helps to dry it faster.

CHERRIES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Baby Bunnies

This little bunny was born abut 2 weeks ago.  Not sure of the exact date, but they almost have their eyes open all the way.  They are still in their nest, and I felt four for sure in there.  This one is really cute with a bit of brown on it.  The mom and dad are both white, so this is a bit of a surprise.  In another couple of weeks, they will be big enough to find a new home.  So sweet!
