To Wet To Cut hay,So Ill Cut Firewood

[HAY MAKER]

To wet to cut hay,so Ill cut firewood.........headed to the bottoms

Crossing the creek.

Think I will check a field first.

Yup,lots of hay,but I wonder about the quality,just been too wet to cut.

This winter's firewood.

headed home.

About 50 round bales that got washed down the creek,got em on end hoping they dry.

Past the pens.

Not much wood,but it's a start.

All this work has me plumb tuckered out and a LiL thirsty,nothing like cool spring water when you been workin hard.
good luck

On that dirt road. Is that white dirt hauled in or is the soil that color?

Looks like what we call "pit run" but you sure would have a lot to haul and spread.

Good pix. Looks like ash wood. Is it?

Too wet to hay would be wonderful around here.

 

[HAY MAKER]

Thanks Katy,my lil blue tractor is beaming LOL,
No Jinglebob it's oak,we have a terrible problem with oak trees dieing here in the hill country,so when its too wet to get in the fields,cut wood or patch fence,take your choice............good luck

Question for you Haymaker, why do you have those bales sitting on end?

If you are getting that much rain won't that soak moisture in like a sponge?

I hope not,weather folks are sayin no more rain for a few days,they were laying on the side for a week soakin water,the ends were dry so I sat em on end,hoping the sides will dry enough to get them in the barn.............good luck
PS Yes you're right of course,on end they will soak up plenty water.

I enjoyed the pictures, Hay Maker. Looks like you had fun, gave your blue tractor some excercise, and accomplished quite a bit all at the same time. :wink: Good for you.

 

[Cal]

Enjoyed the pics HAYMAKER! Just wondering what proof that Springwater was? :wink:

 

[CattleArmy]

We finally got an inch of rain Monday night and are rejoicing.

If you were cutting firewood for us up here you would need another 199 loader buckets full to get through winter.I normally cut tree lenght load them on a flatbed and cut them up when we get home less hand work.You keep up the wood cutting and you could be as big as Big Muddy someday. :wink:

water oak ,aint it?darn sure good looking country.looks almost like home except no michagin tags in the background.need some cheap labor?ive just about had my fill of tourists.

Thanks for sharin the pictures....shore looks different now compared to last year green grass!

looks like Live oak to me. There's lots of those around your area. We have some here, but only around home places. We have lots of red oak, post oak, and pin oak. Don't have alot of trees die'n, but we sure have plenty that are just fallin over cuz the ground's so soft. Noticed several new downed trees on my trip thru the pasture the other day. If we cut up what's fell....there'll be enuff wood to heat the whole extended family and all their houses. LOL
