Well, it worked!
It's been drizzling since the early hours of this morning - just what I needed........ and I can see the grass and seedlings heaving a sigh of relief..................... Roll on haymaking this year...... Fingers crossed! (It's been to dry for the grass to grow the last 3 years.)

Sun tanned today while topping the fields.  Can't believe it was wet and cold last week.  This weather can last until October for me. Luv it
