Our First Crop of Hay!

So it has been a hot and dry summer so far but the hay has been growing and the fields were not too wet for our first cutting of hay here at Lucky Dog Farm. 37 Bales!

Thanks to Double Brook Farm! What a team!

What a selection of farm machinery!

Tree Swing Challenge

Not sure how you would do this in the "olden days" but we, Richard, Will, and I, attached the swing, a graduation gift from Richard to me, to the beautiful oak tree down in the meadow. The ladder in the bucket is a bit of a challenge and we had images of broken limbs etc! However after moving the tractor and ladder every which way we got it up without any injuries!

The first "swing"! Thanks to Will for a big push!

Future Farmers of America!

Here are Caroline and Aileen Moseley out for their first tractor ride, against all Kubota safety recommendations, at Lucky Dog Farm. At the wheel is Farmer Rich!

Of course thumbs-up means higher and faster!

Donut's New Napping Spot!

This is just unbelievable, it must be quite cool. I found Donut here inside the fireplace this afternoon snoozing. 100 degrees outside!
