Eric, the hay in the background was baled by the neighbor who rents the home place using a JD 430 baler. It has been dry this May in Central Va and the local farmers started cuttiing hay about a week earlier than normal. Most was baled without a single drop of rain on it which is very unusual for this time of year. However the quality is very good, probably the best anyone here has seen. Thanks for the compliment on the garden. I have a lot of fun with it, plus enjoy the fresh vegetables. My wife ususally gets most of the mail related to her work. The mailman earns his wages here.
