Hay Turning Catastrophe



The weather has been remaining perfect with temperatures reaching 89 degrees Fahrenheit today...everything was going well...Ted had turned hay in 2 of the 3 fields and was heading up to the top field when there was a hay turning catastrophe!  Faye heard the metal crunching noise from the barn which didn't sound good...and on heading out to the fields she could see that there was a serious problem...a weld had sheared through and the hay turner was no longer attached to the tractor in the way that it should be.  Ted was fine, which was good news, but the damage has put an end to our hay turning completely.  The turner can be fixed but not in the timeframe we need to finish the haymaking.

Our neighbour Roger has definitely saved the day.  He came up to help Ted sort out the tractor and hay turner and Roger is now going to turn our hay until it's ready to be baled.  Roger is already working hard to make his own hay and to help another neighbour so we are very, very grateful to him for rescuing us!
