Hay Season.....#3 Field



Day 3

We are mowing the 3rd hay field today



I am driving the 

International 886 tractor today...






Here is a closer look at the cab...






Yes, it is RED......

makes it even more FUN to drive!






We are in the third hay field today...

if you look closely you can see the red tractor.






We are just across the fence

 from the field we mowed yesterday.






Always a lovely view when mowing hay...






We have 3 or 4 bulls that winter 

in this hay field each year.

You can see the bull barn on the left side.





This is the view from the back of the bull barn...

 the red tractor is in the center of the image.






5pm.......the field is cut.......aaaah.

It will dry for a day and then will be raked.






Queen Anne's Lace

Growing around the edges of the hay fields.






We are back at the barn lot hooking up the baler.

The cowboy will bale the first hay field

 tomorrow.



Feed sack Tote Bags:


We bring home lots of horse and chicken feed

from the feed store in town.

The cowboy saves the sacks for me...

I turn them into tote bags.






This red bird seed tote bag is a favorite!

Hay Season......#2 Field



Day 2 in the Hay Fields...


We are moving equipment this morning

2 miles up river to the 

next hay field to be mowed...






I am mowing the first shift...

the cowboy will come this evening 

and finish up the field.






Another day spent in a beautiful hay field...






Look real close in the center of this image...

see the red tractor on the far side of the field?






I am never alone in the hay fields...

buzzards, ravens and crows follow the tractor

in hopes of getting 

voles, moles, mice or snakes to eat.






The cowboy arrived and is finishing off the

 center of the field...






8 hours of mowing since this morning...






2 fields down......3 more to go!




I completed this pancake quilt in May:


I forgot to show you the final images...






This is my very first Quilt-As-You-Go project...
