Hay Day

I am running in the bright day

While leaping over bales of hay

 

Running through a field full of woven dry grass

Fresh air against my face, thinking of things from my past

 

The harder I run across the field, the more lost I seem to be

The further I run, the more I'm getting nowhere but maybe that's just me

 

I refuse to look backwards I would just run into hay

So I keep on running towards the nowhere, to find my way.

How did the term 'hay-days' come about?

 

Some farmers leave the cutting and harvesting of the hay crops until later in the year than what is generally the norm.

 

Most activity doesn't commence until well into July and often the last cuts are not stored or stacked until well into September.

 

Only a few farmers try to get started early; their fields are usually dotted with saved or partly saved "cocks" or "stacks" of hay.

 

These farmers have the first few acres cut by June, making the first few days of July to be known as "hay days".

 

 

Fun Facts:

 

Americans on average eat 18 acres of pizza every day.
