We had some friends arrive on Sunday and leave today. We had Gus and Sam on Monday so we traded cars with Hope and took a trip up to the Hills. Went to the Ft Meade museum and cemetery. Then we drove over to Beulah WY to the Gore buffalo jump. But didn’t want to pay $5 a person to look at a hole in the ground with a few bones at thew bottom. The boys were getting tired and cranky so we just drove thru’ the Hills so they would sleep. Stopped and got a few groceries and then came home. They shot at some prairie dogs and Sue and I rode and moved some cattle that needed moved while Bob went back to the dog town. Mostly we just visited and had a good time. We had a dandy storm go thru’ Monday afternoon/evening with strong winds rain and a little hail. We got 3.5 inches in about 40 minutes. Knocked down a few old trees around the yard and some up the creek. It washed out one of the crossings I had re built this spring.
Today I have been working on my mower and we got another quick rain and there was .70 hundreds out of this one.
I love the wet weather and hope it causes the hoppers to get sick and die!

I couldn’t believe the grasshoppers west of Pierre – in spots the road was coated with ’em.
We get the dern things, but not so many.
You need to teach your cattle to eat the hoppers that way when the hoppers eat all your grass you still have feed. 🙂
If I could figure out how, I sure would! Great source of protein, they tell me!
