Sunday with grandkids and kids

Rain and thunder

We got some yesterday evening. Afterwords it showed about a half an inch in the bucket on the step. Then last night about bed time it set in again.

Moved heifers

Started of well and then went to hell. If I’d of had a gun there would have been two dead dogs before I got done and I was ready to take the sorry bosal off I was riding with and cut it into pieces. But on the bright side I got some great sunset photos.Continue reading “Moved heifers”
