rain pretty please.
None in the forecast yet.
Pastures are burnt to a crisp.

Need to put a round bale out for cattle.
We have pregnant cows so they need it.

Horses are doing ok.
Not sure how but the mares are fat.
I did get ...

9 and 3/4 inches of rain so far this year.
We did get 1/4 inch the other day. Need more soon while it is still warm enough for grass to grow.

I have Dr. appts today and tomorrow. Just follow ups.

Tomorrow is a blue moon.
I hope it ...

Rain Chances. Please make it so.

Maybe a slight improvement for Jet.
He has a tooth with two fractures.
It will have to come out eventually.
But I need dentals on the other 3 as well.

Still hot here.

Everyone have a good ...

day for Jet.
I hope it helps.
He seemed to be doing better lately.
I started giving him the alfalfa earlier in the evening and he is getting more of it down.

And I am not sure what the others are finding to graze on but they are staying ...

a dental appointment for Jet on Tuesday.
He suddenly started quiddng his alfalfa.
He already can't eat hay.

The heat lingers on. And no rain.
Maybe some relief is forecast for next week.

I had to let my garden go.
This year ...

need rain.
It is so dry.
I can't keep all the shrubs watered.
We will lose some rosemary and salvias.
Salvias can be easily replaced and I am not a fan of rosemary.
The large shrubs, figs and trees are the priority.

We need rain ...

chance of thunderstorms this week.
Another week of hundred degree temps.
Rain NEEDS to happen.

I hope Connie's kids are safe in Hawaii.
So terrible the fire devastation there.

My friend's horses arrived safe and sound yesterday ...

I met the haulers taking my friend's horses to her in Oklahoma.
I got them ready and loaded and sent them off with kisses and hugs.
They should arrive by 7 this evening.

I hope everyone is having a great weekend.
 ...

3 bundles of alfalfa.
The barn is sufficiently full.
I'll pick up another bundle when some room is made.
And if there is some decent stuff.

Stude screams are free and have all you want.
I feel like this whole summer has been one ...

alfalfa day.
Going to get a cube of the hay barns latest load.
Still stemmy but mildly better.
It's another take what we can get year.

Hottest week yet.
Be cool. ...

Tractor was all fixed up and back to work yesterday. Was moving some D.G. to the other side of the yard and ran over the stump of a broken gate post hidden in the verdure. POP goes the ti-er! I would like to buy a scream please! So, it should be fixed ...

!00 degrees for the next week and no rain.
Today I will be watering.
Nothing else happening here.

Everyone have a safe weekend! ...

I am giving my friend and her horses a lift to the vet today.
She is moving and needs health checks and certificates.
Her truck is too lightweight to haul them both.
She doesn't need a busted truck in the final stages of a move.

Some ...

Get my car serviced.
Inspection and oil change.
Apparently in Texas starting next year, inspections will no longer be required.
Just pay the extra fee.

Last week Jet decided to roll into a fence and got his rear legs caught.
He was ...

Making it through this heat.
Can't manage to do much but feed and water everyone.
Horses, deer and birds.
Trying to keep shrubs and trees from dying.

Speaking of squirrels they have gotten a lot of the bird seed and some tomatoes. ...

!04*and breezy today.

Tomorrow morning I am giving a lesson on Tex.
Farrier friend's granddaughter has a summer visit.
It will be a quick how-to and a mosey around the pasture.

Yay! Raven is sound!!






 ...

We are in for a week of hot and dry.
Upper nineties and breezy.
Time for some indoor projects?

I did get Sarcee's feet done yesterday.
She still has the crack in her front.
Tex is next. I got a new rasp for his big feet.
Chica ...

for rain.
The grass is getting crunchy and pasture is turning brown.

I had a couple friends over for the fourth and cooked ribs.
We did a short ride after dinner.
Tex and Chica did perfect even though it was hot and feed time.

I ...

I got two cubes of beautiful coastal on Saturday.
I will do the same today.

We tried a different way of loading it into the barn using the bobcat.
Much easier with less lifting.

I threw a leg over Chica yesterday and doodled around ...

Temps should be cooler.
90's instead of hundreds.
It should be nice with breeze.
I haven't melted but haven't accomplished much either.

I have been working on de-weeding the round pen.
It has gotten out of hand since Tonto ...

Well I do hope you haven't melted like a popsicle DH. I've been reading about the miserable temps in Texas. We get our turn the end of this week. Up until now the weather has been very pleasant. We did get some rain day before yesterday. Mostly ...

The heat rages on here.
Hundreds forecast for another week.

Keeping everything watered is the focus.
Humans, plants, animals and birds.
The hummingbirds fly into the shade on the porch and perch panting.

Connie training is the critical ...

High of 104* today.
Heat has been popping up thunderstorms each evening.
We had a vortex pass over the barn last evening.
I had never seen one before.

The heat is suppose to stick with us.
Power went out last evening for about an hour ...

An old video, but I had a lot of fun making this with my brother.

We have 100*s forecast for the week.

It will be humid also.

Happy hiding. ...
