While the Sun Shines

Make hay while the sun shines, the old saying goes.

Luckily we had sunny days for haying all three of our farms. Polecat Creek Farm and Smith Farm are done. The Brown Place is almost done. The hay in the above picture is on the side field of Smith Farm. This hay will feed my horses this winter.

What's black and white and yellow and green?

What's black and white and—ah, you know it's going to be a border collie doing something. After a morning of running in the hayfields, Maggie cools off in Standiford Creek.

Today was warm, but those yellow leaves beside the creek are hints that autumn drops.
