Making Hay

One thing that Rodney really enjoyed about making hay this time was watching the deer.
We have a doe and her twin fawns in our hay field and they must not be afraid of the tractor because they were often only 20 feet away.  Rodney would see ears above the standing hay and have to slow down many times to give the fawns time to jump and run out of the way.  But they never went very far.  He would get to the end of the field, turn around to come back and have to wait for them to get out of the way all over again.
