Weather has cooperated so all the farmers are haying their fields. The field behind our house is being finished today.
There are two tractors out there today. One is fluffing the cutting into long mounds and the other is gathering it into rounded bales. This is different from other years when they did rectangular bales.
There's a strip of grass they never mow between us and the field.

...here, they are making hay while the shines.
Round and round the seasons come and go.
I love the smell of haying. I used to go haying with my grandfather.
Thanks for your visit to my blog sounds like you are having way more fun than we are this early June. It has been nothing but projects.

Hello, Marcia. On hearing the word “hay”, I remember hay fever first. This is an interesting scene of the process of hay making in the full sunshine. In the nearby rice paddies to me, rice seedlings will be transplanted into paddies soon – it’s that time here.

Enjoyed the video. The sounds of the countryside especially the birdsong as well as the tractors.
It is distressing to see these earlier and earlier cuts of hay. It is the kiss of death for ground-nesting birds.
It must be nice living near farms.
Now this is something we don't see in Hawaii. :-)
Such a wonderful smell. Absolutely intoxicating. They are making hat here also--we just had two deliveries of huge round bales for our cows' winter eating.
