After we cut there were several days of light rain and the hay was a bit heavy, It dried well but our neighbor thought it would be better if he used his big round baler rather than the small baler.

As I mentioned, tomorrow I go in for my 2nd surgery. I'm looking forward to it and getting my intestines back to normal. The worst part is having to stay in the hospital bed for 7 days. We are in the middle of our first hay cutting this year, don't know if we will...

Everyone seems to get butt-hurt so easily these days. At least the Irish don't get offended easily. I don't see them demanding that Lucky Charms change their name or stop using the diminutive supernatural being in Irish folklore, the beloved leprechaun.
