Neighbor Blake is finally able to cut my hayfield by the house. He usually waits until after the 4th anyway in order to give the bobolinks and other ground-nesting birds time to fledge. A few weeks ago I watched the last of the bobolinks fly off. This year, Blake still had to wait until there were enough dry days strung together so the hay could be cut, dry, raked, and baled w/o being rained on. It's pretty humid out and I wondered if that would affect how long it would take the newly cut hay to dry. It doesn't if my experiment is any proof. I hung my washed sheets out on the clothes line this morning and they were dry within a few hours. Of course, that's microfiber which dries quickly anyway. So I washed another load of clothes w/ towels, denim, and work socks and hung them out around 1 p.m. They dried exceptionally fast also. Guess a sunny hot day w/ a little breeze is more than enough to overcome a high dew point.
