We are haying just outside the back door...
This is the view from our back yard...
I am mowing the hay field
just below the calving barns...
This new hay will be stored in both
of these barns...
We grow native Bentgrass hay...
the cows love it.
This is the view from the hay field
looking back out our place:
The Cowboy built our red barn in 1989.
It has been home to horses, cattle, goats,
sheep, pigs, chickens, ducks, geese and cats.
To the left of the red barn
is my yellow Thread Shed...
The Cowboy built the Thread Shed in 2000
He also built the red hen house on the right...
He also built the guest house
in our back yard...
He built the flower boxes too...
and he also built the wagon wheel trellis
for the wisteria vine...
The Lucifer Crocosmia is in full bloom
Lucifer Crocosmia
Sparky and the Hens watch over the yard
while we are across the river making hay.

I have never seen a single-wing mower!! Hubby sells Schulte mowers and they have a wing on each side, at least the ones I've seen. I hope you don't get any rain until the hay is baled!! Looks so peaceful on your farm...love the pictures!
ReplyDeleteThe Cowboy is baling this field today. All the rest of the fields have been cut. Raking and baling left to this next week. It won't be long before we hook up the trailers and begin hauling all 500 bales out of the fields and into the barns for winter storage. We moved one of the cow herds up river a few miles to summer pasture early this morning. I am hoping to get a bit of sewing in this afternoon, if everything goes according to plan.
DeleteHave a Great Summer,

Between you and "the cowboy", you're one talented family!!!!!
