Puddles Everywhere

puddles on roadChange is coming, at least that is what the forecast is calling for. A good stretch of dry weather with days in the 80’s, that would be needed to get the ground dried out. We have had several days of very soggy conditions and the puddles are quite surprising for this time of year.

It was only last week when we noticed small dust-ups as the dogs trotted along ahead of the Gator or as the cows meandered along the road to the spring in the back of the field. Right now we can’t even drive the Gator along those same roads for fear that we would get mired in one of those puddles.

While we have been content to work on some of the more indoor projects for a couple of days, we are now anxious to get some sunshine and drier weather so we can get onto putting in hay for the winter. The cows would like it if we could get those finished fields opened back up for their grazing pleasure.

One thought on “Puddles Everywhere

    It seems so much of our woodland is crying out for sun – as we are, too. Let’s hope for enough days for you to get your hay done. We had neighbors for several years that came from a farm in Ontario, Canada. They commented in June one year: “We don’t see how anyone can grow hay in Oregon.” Apparently in eastern Canada you can count on dry days for haying in June.
