Rain ... Rain. Go away

Since the second batch of hay it has rained ... Actually since 1 hr aft finishing last Friday. There has been 2-3 days of low level probability followed by a disastrous level of precipitation. So we do other things in the woods and in the barn, not feeling like we are getting the major thing done. Marnie has a bad case of the poisons on her arms from pulling invasive stuff and we both itch from ivy. Have had to reschedule bike trip around Lakes Superior and Erie because of the rain. Now expecting to see KELZIE compete in a 70.3 mile Ironman in Racine on the 17th. She will do a Ironman in Muncie the week before and spent the time between here on the farm. 
Our weekend guest were Stuart and Louise Keely, our next door neighbor in Madison from 2000-2005and here is Stu holding his first chicken.  Cleaned sheep barn today and sent Dorsey and all out to graze... rain expected again today..
---- The Flannel Mullen are beginning to fully bloom ----
we also trapped Raccoon #169/37 this morning.. Tim will be around later to move him to the Coon Dog training area.

Monday was the last rain for this week... we cut grass for 11 hours and teted 15 acres in anticipation of baling the 15 on Wed.  Cut 12 more acres on Wed so all the hay is down and to be bales by Fri-Sat to avoid the rain on Sunday.  RELIEF !!!

More later
