A dry spell

Evening watering

Topping the meadow

Raking by hand

Clearing rakings off the meadow

A handsome young rake

A handy tool rest

Meadow hay-making

New and old

Hot and dusty

Unloading

Manual labour
Unless a tree has borne blossoms in spring, you will vainly look for fruit on it in autumn. (Sir Walter Scott)
