Hay & Sunshine



You know the old saying . . .
Make Hay While The Sun Shines


Well that is exactly what is happening
in our neck of the woods:) 


These bales might appear small in 
the photographs, but they
are actually very huge.


They had three balers working the field.


And one stacker.


Enjoy the photos . . .
I wish that I could include
the amazing aroma of the sweet cut hay
in this post :)












Have A Happy 4th Of July!

  2. I remember seeing large bales out in the fields when we lived in Texas. It is such a pretty sight. Looks like you get a front row seat.

  3. As I was scrolling through the pictures I was thinking, “how I mis sthe smell of fresh cut hay from my childhood” and then you said you wished you could share the smell! Great minds think alike. We’re on the road to Nebraska this morning. Maybe I’ll smell some hay there.
    Blessings,

  4. Wow!! We bale hay but not on a scale this large! We make round bales; in fact, I'll be going to the field tomorrow.

  5. Judging by the size of the truck cabs, I can see how big those bales are! Never seen the rectangular ones made so big! Thinking of the lovely aroma of fresh-cut hay now! Thanks! :-)

  6. I would love to see something like that and smell it. When I was growing up we live above a seed and feed store at one time. I could smell the hay every morning along with some chickens. Does fresh hay smell like the ones they sell in the store? Just wondering.

  13. I hope you have an enjoyable 4th of July. We'll be celebrating Canada Day with our annual family BBQ on the first of July. Besides Christmas this is almost the only time the whole clan comes home. Lots of fun.

  14. Thank you for taking the photo's of the haying. When I was a little girl I used to climb up in the barn and we would play on the bales of hay. I love smelling the fresh hay when it is cut. I have never seen the large square bales before. Hugs sweet friend.

  16. I wonder what it would have been like to have only hay bales this big, when I had my horses and alpacas! I could manhandle a large bale in my day, but was maybe only up to 150 lbs! Now I don't know what a person would do! I too absolutely love the smell of fresh mown hay.. nothing better. How neat to live across the street from all that wonderment! We have alot of alfalfa hay fields here in Madras, and I love driving down the highway seeing them baling it.. I of course have to open up my windows wide and let that sweet scent blow in as I drive! Have a nice weekend Connie! xoxo Marilyn

  19. Hi Connie. Oh, I bet the smell is heavenly! I love both the smell of cut grass and cows! Reminds me of clean country living! I hope you are doing well. I'm getting used to my new computer. Still am not crazy about it but there's no other option.

    Hugs,
    Kay

  20. Oh my, wish I could sit on the porch with you and watch them baling hay. There is just something about sweet smelling hay. Also wish I had one of those big pretty bales to place in my little goat barn. Bet it would take Rosie and Heidi a while to finish off one of those. That hay is beautiful.

  21. Your photos take me to a country field where my grandfather made hay. Love that smell. Those are HUGE bales!

  22. Great photos, especially the last one. I think it could win any photo contest. Happy 4th to you. too!

  23. Hi Connie, Can you imagine the cost of those machines! I would be a nervous wreck worrying about whether the weather would ruin the hay. Scorching hot here Can hardly breath outdoors. About all I am doing out there is cover some of my things so they don't get sunscald, pick what little produce I have and water. Hope you have a wonderful fourth of July! Nancy

  24. I imagine my allergies would go crazy this time of year in your neck of the woods.

    I love the little flag you created

    Hope you enjoy a nice 4th celebration :)

  26. Connie, I can imagine how sweet that hay smells. I love it when we drive by a field of hay bales. Nothing says country more to me! Thanks for sharing your great photos with SYC.

  27. Such great pictures! I can’t believe how quickly summer is flying by. It’s fair time already. There is corn in our neck of the woods that is already taller than me!
