We trailed cattle today. Gabe done real good. Cool when we started and never got real warm, but the calves and cows got hot and tired and we rested them twice and had a hard push the last couple miles to the pasture.

Weather
Had some come in just before dark last night. I read it started a few fires up around Chance and Hopes, but the rain put it out. All we got was the wind and some lightening, but I don’t think it started any fires. Mike and I rode out and moved some yearlings yesterday afternoon.Continue reading “Weather”

I got the tractor going the other day but it was low on hydraulic fluid so there was no power steering. Filled it up and it still didn’t want to work, so I did some other stuff. Then in the evening I thought I’d try it again as it has done this before in theContinue reading “Dang”

Went out this morning to plant the rest of the garden. there is a Carrigana tree/shrub growing on the south side, in bloom and the leaf cutter bees and bumble bees were really working on it so I tried to take some close ups.
