It was cut over the weekend and bailed Monday. I really wanted to take a picture of it before they pulled it out of the field but I got busy getting ready for the business meeting at church. By the time we came home Wednesday after the business meeting the hay truck was loaded and on the way out our drive. Oh well maybe next year. Honestly, it probably only looked pretty to a country girl.
We got good rain this year so the field produced 127 square bales. Not bad for 3 1/2 acres. We need to get out and take care of the other field. It's 4 acres and we could probably have produced close to 300 bales if we had had that one as well. We have a friend who has a licence to spray so we wouldn't have to worry about getting one ourselves. My husband hasn't felt it was worth the trouble but after this cutting I think he's ready to change his mind.
My boys had bought me two Pear trees for mother's day. They made a mistake and purchased one that was an ornamental pear. When they read small fruit they thought it meant smaller than regular, they didn't realize that it meant pea size. But it flowers beautifully when it matures so I wasn't disappointed at all. The problem is that the one that the puppies got hold of so now it is looking rather sickly.
My eldest while he was here was working valiantly to try to save it for me. My husband has been helping me since. I have my doubts that it will pull through though. My husband refuses to give up because he knows how much I wanted it. He say "You never know. Wait until spring to see what it does. It may pull through, and even when they look dead sometimes they aren't." He's so sweet. If it dies he will still go out and water it in the hope that a miracle will happen before spring. Then he will come home with a new one just to see me smile. How cool is that.
The new lawn mower has arrived and already had a good workout. I'll get my husband or son to help me post some pictures of it. I know a lawn mower, so what? Well it comes with shot of my son driving it. He's a good looking fella so it will be better.
Well I'd better go I need to get ready for math. I promised my youngest that we would make play dough when he finish so he should make record speed today.

I love reading your blog dear one.
I loved reading about your husband and the pear tree. That's how God is with us - never giving up on us, always calling us back.
Around here, when the Mennonites cut down their hay, it is called "stooking" because they don't put it into bales but into little bundles (they sort of resemble teepees) called stooks.
