They are finally managing to get the hay cut here, about a month late. I only need 80 bales, (they’ll get about 800 on this cut) but I need them to be good quality. Of course, so does everybody else….
Still, it caused me to finally get around to the annual* cleaning of the barn; a lovely combination of cat/animal/horse/hay/old-barn dust/vehicle exhaust… Very good for me, I am sure!

In other news, I did not need to see this: http://www.spiders.us/image/dolomedes-tenebrosus-5/
hanging around the kitchen door, complete with umpteen just hatched babies. And yes, this one was about the size of the one in the picture! She has gone away, I think…

*alright, I’ll admit…Biannual, I didn’t do it last year.
