We cut hay day last week on Polecat Creek Farm. On Saturday, my husband raked it. Raking hay is necessary to make sure the grass is dry dry before it's baled.

The picture below shows how the front field at Smith Farm in Union Hall looked yesterday. This hay was cut today and will be raked and baled on Wednesday.
The forecast is for hot days and no rain. Good hay-making weather!

I know it smells like perfume, too! Been so hot, hope the hay doesn't cook! We've been busy, too, so I haven't had time to catch up with your 'doings.' Have a great weekend!
