Is it ready yet?

Harry & our nephew Graham checking the hay.

This hay will probably be sold to Newmarket Race Course as it was last year...they like good hay for the horses.

Three good things:
1. Fish & chip supper.
2. Still glorious weather.
3. Sweet Williams in a vase.

Lovely scene Pat --I can almost smell the sweet hay !! * nostalgia sets in again * !! Love your pov & how your eyes are drawn along those rows of hay . This scene would make a perfect candidate for today's word challenge *sepia * --don't you think !!

[Judith Johnson]

Looks like hard work! I like your three good things.

[Anne Mary]

Great weather for hay-making - good leading lines

[Pat Knowles]

@beryl Never thought of doing it in sepia Beryl but you are right would have looked good & a bit vintage!

[Pat Knowles]

@busylady @annemary Thank you both ladies!

[Sue Rose]

Great lines and nice to see two guys hard at work!

[Beryl Lloyd]

@happypat Why not try it in Sepia for tomorrow ? It would look beautifully vintage - I am sure !

[Gerry]

very nicely capture Pat lovely field scene

[Judith Greenwood]

Oh how exciting - just up the road to Newmarket - lucky horses!

[Diana Moss]

Make hay whilst the sun shines , nice shot Pat

[🐞Lucy Dolittle]

Posh hay if it is off to Newmarket. Our neighbour cuts his own haylage for Newmarket. Just love the smell, like apricots. Looks like great hay, no thistles or twigs!

[Karin Hirsch]

Nice shot, good weather for hay, good you can sell your hay to Newmarket

[Maggiemae]

This hay will go into the running of the racehorses! High cuisine for them! Is this on your own property or is it your nephews? Weather to cut it must have been great!

[Pat Knowles]

@maggiemae Not ours maggiemae, our nephews, we don't make any now.

[Barbara Paquette]

Which smells better - the hay in the sunshine or the Sweet Williams in the vase?

[Rick Schies]

When you say ready, do you mean dry? Nice shot

[Wendy]

Looks like nice hay. So good that they still have the ability to check out the hay by feel - that is a dying art. Many farmers I know use digital hay testers.
We will be baling on Saturday, God willing. It is very mature hay, but the weather hasn't cooperated to let us take it off any earlier.

[marg]

Wow looks so neat Pat - so are they checking to see if it's ready for baling? Will they bale it or roll it? I like that you list 3 things you are grateful for. What a great idea.

[Pat Knowles]

@bpaquette No contest Barbara , the hay!!

[Pat Knowles]

@digitalrn Ready for baling Rick & yes that means dry but not too dry with all the goodness out of it.

[Pat Knowles]

@murnane They were making into mini hestons Marge, those are very large oblong bales , easier to transport.
Sometimes a challenge finding TGT but makes you appreciate your life!

[marg]

Well I love that you bother to find 3 things each day - you've inspired me to do the same thing xo

[James Verdi]

Great shot. I hope the horses enjoy it.

[Jane Pittenger]

Wonderful lines and interest

[Al Bailey]

Lovely shot ...... the hay looks very good! :)

[Phil Howcroft]

I thought you and Harry were meant to be retired Pat.....gr8 English country scene :)

[JH]

Yes, for 'retired' types you do both seem to work a lot! A nice scene and I like your 3GT. Here's to summer!

[Alison Tomlin]

You have your own hay field? Wow.

[Jennifer]

Great rural scene,very summery!

[Jo]

I really like this shot, it instantly transports me to the country side, with all the sounds and feel of a summers day.

[Lesley Knowles]

I love this Mum! What a great shot of young and old (sorry dad!) consulting each other! Lovely to see! x x
