Heat and Hay

It certainly has been very hot here in East Tennessee. Extremely hot for July. My good friend PatinTenn has posted a great post about "Tennessee in July" Check it out for a bit of humor about heat.

In the meantime, we have gotten all the hay put in the barn this week. I really feel for all those young men who spent hours in our fields harvesting in this heat. Here's a picture of our front field:

Ah, the wonderful smell of freshly mowed hay. It's really a good thing I don't have hay fever!

Hey, I didn't know you had some land, too. When I picture you living at the college, I guess I picture it being "subdivisiony". How much land do you have? Do you have other makings of a farm?

I live in Notrh Georgia and the only time I've been able to work outside is in the two hours after dawn. By about 8:30 it's too hot to do anything but water plants!

Well, you see, it's like this. We went from east TN, through KY, to Ohio. Then a different time we went from Mississippi, through the very western edge of TN and KY to IL. Just never went in between. Am I missing something good to make it worth the trip? : ) You're here now, so what else is in IN?
