Making Hay While the Sun Shines

I spotted this on my way home today. The man was backing the tractor up to hook it to the trailer loaded with hay. It was hazy there this afternoon. It's wonderful that the ranchers were able to grow hay this year, due to the good rains we had in the early spring. They had to truck it in from other states last year. This was kind of a drive-by shot. Taken from the window of my car. I saw it and pulled into the drive for the field.

@jenniferruge @karenann @hjbenson @turning_40 Thank you! I grew up on a farm, my father raised soybeans and cotton, no hay. But it still brings back memories to see farm work.
