it rain.
I did some watering yesterday and scheduled a ride for today.
Connie $1 per bale?
I am paying $8. I plan to pick up a round on the way to Board meeting this evening.
If they have any and if it is not raining. Why is it when I have time to haul hay they either don't have it or it is raining?

I hope Stude is recovering and being kind to himself. Loss of blood is very scary but I have learned that pints can be lost and still recover.

The funeral for our pilot friend was very nice. I can't look at the sky without thinking of him and the song I'll Fly Away coming to mind.

Father's day was a quiet one. Pilot wanted to drive down by the river and stop at the burger joint so we did.

I hope everyone has a kind week.

Yes. $1/bale. They weigh forty or fifty pounds...more like forty or forty five. Yes he put our hay up last year and did a terrible job...most if it was so wet it was sold for mulch. the rest we dumped. He charged us pretty good by the bale for baling and mowing and I bought the twine. His goats wont' eat first and we gave his BIL a really nice hay lot that was given to us and I was going to buy the hay from Tom... I think Glenn felt guilty for last year and that is why he gave us such a deal. Tom only charged fifty to help us pick it up and put it away. I was wondering if I would have to rehome one of the mares before winter but now they are safe...enough hay...will get some second grass hay from Tom when he gets around to that. I like it for a treat. Yes, Stude, no alfalfa in it so Whisper is safe...I do appreciate you letting me know it can cause issues in Arabs.

Our last load of hay was eighteen dollars a 100# (or so) bale for Orchard. Previous to that was fourteen each for meadow grass-Mountain Timothy somewhat heavier bales. The previous load was full of dirt and sand. The Orchard was full of Army worms (my guess, I hope nothing worse). Seems decent hay out here is increasingly expensive (twenty-five plus each) or simply not available as it has been sold overseas.

I broke open the leak last night and bled all over Annie's (my dog) bed. Fortunately, it didn't breach the bandage till I had gotten off my bed, except for a few drops. Cleaned up the mess and put Annie's bed in the washer. Jmebear's poor septic tank is marginal at best normally and I have thoroughly overloaded it of late.

Went to see the Doctor today. She is going to send off a referral to a surgeon who specializes in this kind of thing. A Vascular Surgeon, I suppose. Anyway, they'll need to deal with at least three more as well. All the same, she said it could be late July before I see him.

Well, I wanted to at least get Socks out and it's getting late. So I hope everyone around here has a great week!
