[Soapweed]

Kosmo Kid raking hay

Whippin' and spurrin'

Smile, you're on candid camera

Storm to the southwest

Interesting clouds

Moon guarding the clouds

Clouds guarding the windmill

Rearin' to go

Home sweet home

An old homestead site across the meadow

Same clouds a little later

Same clouds with a different camera setting

Looking a different direction

Had some of the same looking clouds here tonight. We got 6/10ths of rain in pretty short order. Looks like we might get some more. I won't hold my breath for it. :roll:

We've been getting rain every day. Then the wind comes up and sucks the ground dry before it has a chance to do some good.

Soapweed, if you have a bunch of dry hay down can you bale all night
(if you have to) or does dew shut you down? The dew here at our home place doesn't come down until 3 or 4 in the morning while the places we hay along the river are wet as soon as the sun goes down.

Looks like you're getting some nice feed up.

Dew doesn't shut down our haying operation at night nearly as much as my old aching bones. I never thought they should have put headlights on tractors in the first place. :wink: Besides, the camera doesn't even work very good after dark.
