As you can see the field is on top of the ridge. Which has really made it good for drying out. We only cut about 5 acres at a time, since it is hard to find any one to help. We have been lucky to get 2 days in with out rain here and there. It has been so hot and humid that we have been getting on and off thunder boomers about every evening. We are halfway done, and are going to try to get some more cut Friday. It's kinda like rolling the dice. The weather man says hit or miss showers for the next 7 days, we will see if our luck holds out.
At 83 Homer still refuses to let anyone, including me run his equipment. I sometimes get to use the kicker and rake where it's not real steep, but it just kills him to stand around and watch other people work so I just let him do what he feels like doing. Sometimes we have help with another tractor but the weather has been so wet that everyone else is in the same boat we are in trying to get up their hay. But it will get done sooner or later, it always does.
No wonder you don't have time to sit down let alone breathe right now!
Homer is a real inspiration!
Sending thoughts your way that you hay gets put up soon and you can take a much needed rest.

The hay looks great! I'm hoping you get good weather to finish up.
