Making Hay

There is an old saying about making hay while the sun shines. What with all of the rain lately - when there is a stretch of a couple or three days of sunny weather making hay is the first order of business.

While I don't particularly mind the smell of manure being spread on the fields - I don't necessarily like it.

Nothing beats the smell of freshly cut hay though.

The air is thick with it.

Sweet and earthy.
