Haymaking II

As beautiful as the weather was for the mowing, it was all that brutally hot and humid for the raking and mowing...



Kim's (my neighbor) tractor might be a good rhythm track-tor for an upbeat bluegrass breakdown. I should have picked up my mandolin and played along instead of shooting video. It's all the rage on youtube...




As is often the case when a Hoosier summer day reaches such a fever of heat and humidity, pop-up thunderstorms were happening all over the northern part of the State. For about a half-hour, with dark clouds rolling in along the northern horizon, it looked as though my neighbor might not get the raked hay put up after all.

Thankfully, the storms stayed to the north. By 9 PM, the last bale was hoisted onto the stack and the wagon was pulled away...
