As with most of the summer, we have had plenty of rain. 
In the last 2 days we’ve received approx. 4 inches of precipitation… enough is enough already. And with the heavy dew of each morning, it’s getting tough to do things around here. I was able to get a few miles of the road ditches mowed, but that was about it. Usually, I am able to mow the entire ditch, but nowadays, the bottoms remain. Most of the ditches either have water in them or they are so soft with mud only a fool would attempt to cut it.
It looked as if some of the forecasted rain was going to miss us last night, but Carol mentioned that we got some heavy showers last night. As things we drying of toady, it rained again for 45 minutes or so. Wonderful. No mowing hay today.
Tomorrow it is suppose to be windy and sunny. I’m hoping the wet downed hay will dry a little so I can rake and bale it during the next day or two. I’d like to get some of our hay field cut as well. Anticipating the chance to do some baling this week, Carol picked up some baling twine… so we’re ready.
