Just as I was getting my hopes up that we would be able to mow the hay field today I heard that there are storm warnings for Saturday, Sunday and Monday so that puts grass cutting on hold. Its been bad enough having to wait this long for a decent stretch of good weather but it would be very disappointing to mow the grass and then have it get wet...so once again we find ourselves waiting.

The real problem with these unexpected delays is that I have skipped irrigating for almost a month now so that the hay field would be dry and easy to cut. Now it is totally parched and I fear the quality might be below its usually high standard.

Time to keep one eye on Southern Cross who is due to deliver in the next few days and one eye on the weather forecasts, fingers crossed.
