On the afternoon of the 31st I cut some hay my neighbor gave me and its gotten rained on now for 2 straight days,probably is going to hurt its quality somewhat but I'm glad to get what I can. Its now Wed and its the first time I've seen much of the sun in 3 days. We've probably had at least 5-6 in of rain here in the last 3 days.
