Phase...Four ....waiting !!

Zorba ...is having an alpaca moment....watching the chickens !
Girls...out today...we have seen sunshine !!

Afternoon....snooze....


What will it be....hay or haylage !!....

I am waiting..for the land to dry out..after the torrential rain over the past couple of days...we were forecast..the possibility of showers..not....the downpour...that we did get.

So its a case of waiting for the land to dry....maybe all being well I shall be able to get on the fields by Friday...and start again.....I'm hoping to still get hay. Things are not lost just yet..as the grass is still a good colour and providing we have dry weather..all will be ok !

If not then its a case of plan.....'Z'....just get something..that resembles...something to feed over the winter......and make a decision to turn it into haylage...before all the nutritional value is lost !!

So its a case of waiting...and hoping....that the weather 'Gods' are not going to dump another quantity of rain here....at least for a few days...maybe that is expecting far too much..after all........a dry summer-time...in Scotland....we'll that's unheard of isn't it !!

I'm staying hopeful....and positive !!...at least for the minute !!

;-)... that might all change....at the drop of a hat !!

Best of luck on the hay. I love the photos, especially Zorba and the great big cattle.
