This is my favorite time of year at the barnhouse...when my hay-guy mows the field. It makes me feel like a farmer. Sort of, anyhow.
Haiku for a Non-Farmer
Allergens airborne
Look! Particulate matter!
Get the inhaler
Hay Man I love you
You make farming seem simple
Sit and watch YOU mow
Tractor man, adieu
I will see you in the Spring
Keep growing, hay-weeds
Lol, and now they're saying that growing up on the farm helps prevent asthma. Must be true, I saw it on the interwebz.
ReplyDeleteI might disagree, 'cause there is plenty of proof right in my family that might disprove it, ha ha.
DeleteThat looks like a whole field of bug bites.
ReplyDeleteBelieve it or not, bugs aren't a problem.
DeleteFunny, thanks for allergy medicines, eh?
ReplyDeleteAmen and amen!
DeleteBugs galore, disturbed from their haunts!
ReplyDeleteIt's notbad; they must have flown the other way. ..
DeleteHay is rather itchy to roll in too, just saying
ReplyDeleteI'm an anti-rollite.
DeleteRoll, roll, roll in ze hay.
DeleteGood morning, dear Cherdo!
ReplyDeleteHAIKU! HAIKU! HAIKU!
(Gesundheit!)
This post is nothing to sneeze at.
Are these actual pictures taken around your home? If so they are the first I have ever seen. What a lovely estate! You have lots of space there - plenty enough for my brother-in-law and his family. Deal?
As you might recall me telling you, the first sentence I ever spoke was "Farmer cut weeds." I was 35 years old and super proud of myself.
Happy Wednesday, dear friend Cherdo!
Shady always grabs the best gags...
DeleteShady, you made me cackle like the maniac I hen. I mean am.
DeleteYes, brither, that is my house and back yard, in all its glory...and yet, in spite af the roomy (or yardy) feel of it all, i still don't have room for your brother-in-law and his family. So, if I don't have enough room, where does that leave you? Ha ha ha....why am i laughing?
DeleteHave a lovely evening, Peep 1.
He's been trying to trick me into taking the relatives, too. I won't even invite my own relatives to my house.
DeleteI'd rather watch him as well. Although from inside so I don't inhale any of that stuff.
ReplyDeleteActually, i was out all day and he complete the task while i was gone. Perfect timimg.
DeleteCripes...COMPLETED
DeleteYes, fall is the worst time for allergies for me. They seem to find their way inside to me! I'm on Claritin now...that stuff is expensive, even the store brand!
ReplyDeleteYou'd think i would have had allergies in Ohio, too...Lord knows they have farmland. But TN tops them all.
DeleteThat's a lot of land! And I thought the backyard I recently got with my new house was big. Well, big since I wasn't in an apartment anymore. :P
ReplyDeleteI'm glad we grow the hay...or we'd have ťo mow it all weekly.
DeleteLOL! Yes, that first one. Totally. Hay.
ReplyDeleteHay, hay, and micro hay.
DeleteI'm fortunate in that I don't have hay fever and I'm not cursed with any allergies. Take care.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Stephen!
DeleteCherdo...good job with this. I have a friend who is going to write a Haiku every day starting January 1. Hmmm... might be a good exercise. Fighting allergies also.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Linda! We're gonna keep fighting these allergies! They can't get the best of us!
DeleteI had a very memorable trip to New Zealand in the late '90s. Among many treats, I got to visit a family farm. One of my enduring images of the trip is watching a hay baler at work. There is something remarkably soothing about the process.
ReplyDeleteIt is relaxing, in between the coughing and nose wiping.
DeleteNew Zealand is beautiful.
Looks peaceful. I love driving by and visiting farmland.
ReplyDeleteWe're really on the edge of a neighborhood. A true urban farmer!
DeleteI can name that tune in one note :)
ReplyDeleteI call it the ragweed blues.

Man, you're good...
DeleteIs the hay man hot and hunky? I'd love watching him too!
ReplyDeleteNow this is just brilliant! Thankfully I never had hay allergies:)
