Yesterday morning on my way to the clothesline I saw this bachelor button getting ready to bloom:
My husband was cutting hay in the field nearby. There was rye here last year and there’s some growing at the edge of the field this spring:
Besides allowing me to photograph the poppies shown in the preceding post, my neighbor let me pick some asparagus to take home. We had some for supper.
Later in the afternoon my husband baled a couple baskets full of hay.
Thank goodness for the hay basket which allows one person to do the baling, especially when our main helper---our son---is recovering from an appendectomy. Hopefully, he will be released from the hospital today.

The right equipment is so wonderful. I remember forking hay into piles...that's a hard way to put up the winter's feed.
Beautiful photos as always. Glad to know the son is recovering well. Continued good thoughts.
Hope your son recovers quickly.
Great pics- i like that first shot, such a pretty bluish purple.
Glad to hear your son is recovering. It's a hard job for one person. I end up driving the truck around and loading them when we don't have a crew. It's hard to find someone to do such hard work.
Glad to hear your son is doing well. Hope he gets to come home soon!
Nice shot of the bachelor button!
My nana always had a large asparagus patch and I remember picking fresh shoots in the summer during visits to her country home.
We planted asparagus this year and I can't wait until we can cut it.
