Hay Days

© AnnHoffpauir
During the early summer hay is cut and baled.  Here in southeast Texas they can get two cuttings off a good pasture in summer.  My dad used to bale hay with a hay rake like this one.  My dad loved being out with the horses doing things on the farm.  So I painted him on the hay rake driving the Belgian horses.  I miss my dad.  The draft horses are easier than mules, more even tempered I think.  There are the cattle egrets that come in by the dozens to catch and eat the insects that get stirred up during cutting and the baling.  http://www.ArtworkbyAnn.com
