There’s a lot of haying going on around Sequim these days and I think our rains last week came at a bad time. There were many fields of baled hay that got wetted by our thunderous downpours.
Farming is often viewed with warm nostalgia, certainly justified because it embodies many positive values. In truth it’s frequently a high risk venture with long hours and harder work than many of us are accustomed to in the 21st century.
More rain coming here this week, though there isn’t much haying done here. The few crops we have could probably use a drop or two. Here most of the farmers are part-timers, not enough in it for a complete living.
Hey, I’m glad I found you again; lost you for a little while.
I remember my dad watching trying to get the hay in between rainy days… a difficult chore on the west side of the mountains…
i like seeing that! reminds me of europe (and texas, haha).
yes, i guess as a farmer you can never take a day off, let alone a week, or 2…
