Wet hay

This is a picture of our wet hay on the field. Since this past weekend, the weather reports had shown a sunny 5-day forecast so we started cutting hay on Tuesday. Then I believe there was a 30% chance of rain in the forecast for Friday. Last night on the news, we saw a 50% chance of rain. I was hoping the rain would bypass Marinette so that we could get our hay dried and baled, but unfortunately that wasn't the case.

During the night and this morning, we received a significant amount of rain. If it clears up soon, maybe we can salvage our hay on the field without any problems. All we need is some sunshine and a nice breeze to hopefully dry it out. I'm not getting my hopes up though.

The alpacas, however, are enjoying the rain after several days of hot, humid weather.
