Its been dry on the farm. The summer weather has been very patchy, 35 degrees on Saturday, then walking around in jerseys on Sunday. There isn't much grass around though, and while it suits to have the fat horses and donkeys on rations, getting them back to a manageable and healthier weight, they do get a bit hungry.
We have just harvested all the barley on the farm and then baled the barley straw. I got the french wwoofers to bring me over a bale of fresh hay to put in the horse/donkey paddock as a bit of extra roughage for them. Not exactly their favourite meal (they far prefer the lucerne hay of course) but it made a bit of a change for them.
Having a huge bale of straw arrive in the home paddock was a bit of excitement for all. I took some fun pictures of the action after it arrived.
