All the fields have been cut....its just up to the weather 'Gods' to be kind to us now !!
Well...its all been happening tonight !
The fields have been cut, the contractor arrived at 6pm....tonight and he eventually finished cutting at 11pm ! He has cut 3 fields....approx 15 acres....so I'll have my work cut out for the next week...or so.
So .... the deed has been done, no going back now. There is a weather forecast for sunshine and showers....!! but we might miss them. However, there is rain forecast for Tuesday here. This means the hay might be left till after Tuesday, before I start to work it !
At least the cutting is done, and if it rains heavy, you just can't get on the fields..for a couple of days at least. This could mean the difference between, getting the stuff baled..or not ! So we are just ready and waiting...for the big...'Go'
Needless to say...I'm checking the Internet..daily, hourly....or even...at every minute..to see if the crafty weathermen..have slipped a rainy day in there..just to scupper my plans !!
I don't mind a little shower or two...but I do mind a down pour for days on end.....
Pacosha has had her abscess flushed out, she now has a new poultice....and dressing on it. So we are back to doing this every day, until the poultices are clean......so it looks like a busy couple of days.....up here....weather pending.

Good luck with the weather Jayne...Paul is the same with constant checks on the forecast...looks like a possible for bales here this weekend.
Hi Jayne, Go for it -looks like the weather will hold. Very windy here last night but sunny today. Take care, don't work too hard - and mind your back! Shirley & Robbie
Hope that weather holds! Very bad for the nerves, this hay making!
Best of luck getting the hay in!
