Good morning!!!!

[lostcreekranch]

Good morning. It was 69° and foggy this morning, already 79° and forecast is for 88° this afternoon.

We had another 1 1/2 of rain last evening giving us just over 3" in June .. so far. After 20" in May, our tractors haven't moved .. in three weeks so .. getting way behind. We've still got three fallen trees that I can't get to w/o making huge ruts that would have to be repaired later.

Today marks the 77th anniversary of the "REAL Anti-Facists" .. storming the Beaches of Normandy, France.

I've been working on several shop projects, waiting for pastures to dry out. I bought some 12" tires / wheels to to replace the 6" on our 4000 psi pressure washer trailer and finally got them mounted yesterday. This should make it pull better, as it gets used all over the ranch.

Hope everyone has a pleasant Sunday.

Prayers to all.

Ben up since about 0530-0600, but just posting

81° right...high in the upper 80's

Mowed most of the lawn yesterday...really pushing myself for the last bit before I knocked of. Definitely ran out of steam (Stamina). So, back yard and string trimming still to do...maybe today
I guess I just have a summer cold, but this has been persistent and more severe. Might be just because I'm a lot older now...

Roy, hope you get feeling better soon.

I always hate to mow the white clover when the bees are on it.

I always hate to mow the white clover when the bees are on it.

From a needed pollination standpoint I sure agree.
Unfortunately I have become allergic to bee stings.
Plus I plant plenty of other flowering shrubs to feed the locals.

I'm looking out the window at a sea of white clover flowers around the veggie garden.
Eat up kiddos, because the boss is coming in with a big mower soon...

low 90's and sunny out. My handkerchief is soaked from church, even sitting outside for the picnic after service
was getting a bit warm by the time we left. It's sweat band time for me.

Went to church, got the propane tanks filled and put a small pork tenderloin on the smoker for dinner.
Not much else in this 94 degree heat.

Got all trees on my side of fence line trimmed. I can now mow my side of fence without having my headphones pulled off my head. Hauled all the trimmings over to neighbors place ready to run threw chipper.
Back in house to cool off.

Good afternoon! 86 and cloudy

Pic above - found a water value and cleaned out the mud and water but couldn’t turn it, but I got a tool so will try again. It was 14” below the grass. The PVC lid was 2” under the sod.

But that projects does not replace a Sunday afternoon nap but the H&F game will. Off for a practice round to survey the competition for the big game tomorrow.

We provide food, and have run off black snakes in past years. Well, yesterday my wife noticed the nest was on the porch floor, and I went to fix it and found TWO blacksnakes and no baby birds. Just can't figure how a snake got up there. We had even moved some decorations so the snakes couldn't get a "toehold."

.... This morning notice young fox pup setting on the rock side field than would run off and return did it several times and yip, I took look there lay it's brother/sister lifeless I buried pup, mother fox also been checking the area.... does pull at the heart strings.

Dropped to 89°

Worship went well, we started classes again today. Very few wearing masks now.

Back to 91° now.

Called Dish and they reset my receiver. It wasn’t allowing me to watch anything. First time I’ve even used the receiver in months, unplugged it when it smelled like it was burning. Today is a test to see if it still works. I should just drop it.
