Drought

We are having one of the hottest and driest summers that I can remember for awhile.  We were unable to get enough second cut hay from our neighbour because it was just too short to small bale and the round bales were small as well.  After almost drowning int the spring this was unexpected.  I have been able to save two of my pastures but had to sacrifice two others.  Oh well such is farming.  My little chicks are growing well in this heat and my boys finally  were shorn.  Their fleeces were felted but I have lots from the girls.  Enjoy the pics.
