As of today, I have cut my last hayfield. 1300 + acres (probably closer to 1400 including some of the pasture we cut) in three weeks, two outfits cutting and two outfits baling. I cut with the best friend, and when he wasn't cutting, he was baling with my husband. Almost all of it got put up with no rain to speak of. The two of them have about 150 acres left to bale, and when they're done that, we'll be officially at the end of haying season. If I get my way, there'll be NO second-cutting!!!


Now what am I going to do with all my spare time??? :?

Heck, Shelly....now that you got some "spare time" you can come on down here in a month or so and help us get up our second cutting!!! Course, there is always housework around here i can use some help with...you know, windows, laundry (for 6 people), dishes, floors, carpets that need shampooing, a garden in desperate need of weeding, cows to move, horses to ride and kids to feed!! Just let me know the date you plan on coming so I can make sure to have the spare room all fancied up for ya!!! :wink: :wink: :wink: :wink: :wink: :wink:

Yuck! Women's work?!? I say again, yuck!!! That stuff is needing to be done around here too, but I avoid it if I can. Moving cows and riding horses, now there's something I'd be more interested in.

That you'd have to take up with the husband. I have no idea how to run one of those things. And all that beeping would probably drive me nuts. That's one thing I'll miss about cutting hay, the solitude and quiet (other than the noise of the tractor and haybine). I can hide away in my tractor, cell phone shut off unless I want to talk to somebody, watch the wonders of nature, and think.

BTW, Mrs. Greg, nice to see you back. I noticed you haven't been on here much. I missed reading what you have to say.
 
We were holidaying with six little kids,it was fun......I thought you'd bring the baler Greg can run it and we'll sit on the deck and drink,beer,coolers,whatever you prefer :wink:
 
Come on down and visit with me and alabama. You can stay in the pool all day and drink Pina Coladas.

Bring a couple of bottles of Tangle Ridge if you don't mind. :lol:
 
Mr Lilly never has understood why I love to shread pastures. It's the solitude!!!! No one wantin to know "what's fer dinner" no one hollerin "mama" etc etc....Just me...the tractor ( yeap it's noisy but you tune that out) Then when yer all done and back with the family again, for the first thirty minutes or so..you still have that buzz ringin noise in yer ears and they sound like they've been enhalin helium. :lol2: :lol2: :lol2:
But they look at me funny when I laff at em LOL But I don't care!!!!!
 
Well we have no hay to cut in alabama with everthing dried up down here. So you might as well come on down and sit no the porch in the shade and have some cool drinks.
 
I just finished stacking my 2nd cut here in GA yesterday PM! We usually get 4 cuts a summer....but this time we'll now be lucky to get 3.
