Hey, Hay/Rural Thursday

 Bales ready to be picked up and hauled to the barn...or  to wherever

The weather here has been perfect (warm and dry) for cutting hay, drying it and then baling.

  10. Beautiful photos! I love the countryside and seeing the harvested crops waiting for removal to wherever. Bales of hay make great architectural pieces don't they?

  18. My mom says she'll take all she can get! Nothing is growing here, so hay is hard to come by... they found someone a couple weeks ago that had enough to sell over what they needed for their own farm & horses... on the way to take it home, several bales fell off the trailer cuz it wasn't loaded right & they had to go back & pick it all up off the highway! What a mess... not to mention it was about 107 degrees! YiKeS! =0

  26. Heyyyy, I mean hayyyy. Did you know that this week's full moon is called the Full Hay Moon? It's called Thunder Moon and Buck Moon as well, but here and now, I'll stick with the Full Hay Moon.

    Hey, I like your composition here.

  27. I am loving the tree, in both shots. Trees speak a language all their own. I love trees!
    Trees and Eagles, or eagles in trees works, too.

  31. Love the tree and lone bale of hay!
    What a lovely scene!
    Those are more tightly baled that what we see here.

  32. Oh boy, is it that time already? Marvellous. It's hard work for some but for me it means a lazy Sunday picnic in a field...

  36. Hey there, you with the eyes of red. Hey there, you with the allergies. I can sneeze already just looking at this hay picture! Pretty though!

  37. Oh, my, I love that shot with the single bale of hay under the tree.

    It is so hot here...things are just drying up and dying...I don't think a LOT of the corn is going to make anything at all. We saw a field of soy beans that looked like they were drying up as well.

    It was 108º here for a while...every day for the past week has had temps reach over 100ºF.
