Summertime

Yup it’s here, tho’ as cool as it was today you wouldn’t know it. But the cattle are sleek and fat and the grass is looking brown a little from heading out. Still lots of green and them stinking hoppers tho’.

Sunday morning Chance and I rode out and moved some yearlings and put a couple bulls with our cattle. Sunday evening we took all the grand kids and Chance, Tate and Kass went went over to the local fishing hole and had a great time. Everybody caught fish and several big ones were caught. Sure liking the kayak for fishing.

Then on Monday morning he was still here so we rode down and doctored 4 foot rot bulls.

Cindy and I went to a baby shower/potluck in the evening. Big turn out and lots of folks showed up.

Tyler came home yesterday evening and we all went in to Sturgis and met some friends from Minnesota who were visiting the area and ate a lunch and visited. I got an axle for my rake and small close to the ground wagon so I can haul little bales or pitch hay on, whichever. Just got to do a little work on it.

We got .70 hundreds of rain last night and it is real nice out this evening, but cool, which for the 6th of July is fine.

I have a gig on Saturday at a Guest Ranch in the Hills that does a ride and auction every year to raise money for cancer research. Always a good time and a chance to ride in the pine trees a little bit.

We stopped and picked up salt on our way home this afternoon and went and scattered it and found a tank I need to get some gravel around, so tomorrow will be a tractor day, in the morning at least.
