Well, I have that LJ option turned on that emails copies of replies to my public (Hotmail) account. And a copy of a reply showed up in that box today. A copy with a "sent" date back in June....

(cue the twinkly _Twilight Zone_ music)

It's 8 AM -- do you know where your email is?

"They" are forecasting showers and thundershowers this evening through tomorrow morning. Crew windrowing and baling hay up on the Chase Road during my morning ride, must have cut on Sunday evening to have had even a _chance_ of drying with the humidity we've had.

Well, at least these were the huge round bales, usually left in the field instead of hauled to the barn. So when they heat up and catch fire, they won't burn anything but themselves. As I noted before, the farmers are getting desperate. Especially for horse hay, which is supposed to be cleaner than cow hay. Something esoteric to do with the respective digestive tracts, I believe. Anyway, a lot of the cutting _this_ year looks like it's going to end up as mulch hay.

Swarms of goldfinches flying out of one patch of weeds and landing in another, little yellow flashes all around. And crows working that hayfield -- probably lots of grasshoppers and other things delectable to crows, like half-mice and half-snakes.
