The State of Virginia just posted this heat advisory warning.
Our farm is in the middle of the blue circle on the bottom. We're expecting sweltering heat (in the 100s) for the foreseeable future, and all the while we're getting up hay. For a variety of reasons, but mostly because of my age, I am hyper-vigilant when I'm out there. If my gut tells me something is wrong -- i.e., I'm working too hard or too fast out in the heat -- I listen. You can never be too careful. Also, I'm not too proud to ask for prayers on behalf of my family. We need to be wise, stay hydrated, and so forth.
Thank you.
