Still haying at Kelleys Dairy


    I headed to the field to cut the last twenty acres here at home about 9 a. m. My youngest son, Jacob, came out around 10:30 a.m. and climbed aboard to ride awhile.  Sometime around 11:30 his wife, Amanda, and son, Connor, brought us a glass of ice water apiece.  We asked Connor is he wished to ride a round or two but he declined.  They came back out around 12:45 and Connor decided he would indeed like to ride a bit so we helped him aboard.  Connor rode with us about 20 minutes before he decided he had ridden long enough.  Amanda took this picture of three generations on the tractor when she brought Connor to the field. I got through cutting the field a few minutes after 2 p. m. Jacob had stayed with me the full time after he arrived and we were able to have a real good visit. Sure made the day go by easier and quicker. Thanks Jacob.

    My oldest son, Francis, volunteered to come and assist me in baling hay today in Douglas County, MO. I rode with him most of the day standing on the tractor steps but I did take the time to make a few videos. Sure made the day go better to have someone with me. Thanks Francis, for your help today.
    Below are some photos of the scenery we were surrounded by today.  These beautiful Ozark Hills

This was taken to the south south west of our position.


This was due west of where we were.


    You can see the storm clouds rolling in to the southwest of us in this photo.  We were sure glad we were about to finish up a long day baling hay.  As we left the driveway of this farm we were peppered with a few large raindrops even though the forecast was for clear all week.

Baling Hay


This is me baling hay on Bob's farm.  It is hot and dusty work.  Hay season is my favorite time of year even with all the stress.

Making Hay (A poem attempt)

Making Hay

Round and round the field all day
On a tractor mowing hay.
The sun is hot the sun is bright
But cool will come with the night.

Round and round the field we go
Raking hay into a row
Raked into a row and then
Round and round we go again.

Round and round real slow this trip
making bales from the strip.
Come winter I will feed this hay
Thats why I'm out here this hot day.
