Texas Spring/Summer Thread

Our grass is getting brown and crispy.

I'm trying to convince our horses that it is same as hay. :-D

Yeah the hay crews are still running pretty hard. When we went to town yesterday there was lots of trailer loads of hay on the move. I guess we've had enough rain. But the heat is now starting to dry us out.

Pastures are still green but the army worms have appeared. They brought lots of reinforcements.

Bird--I'm central south Ohio and on the flat plains type ground with no shade unless you planted it yourself. Certainly not as hot as Texas but the Texans I know have a higher threshold when dealing with heat. When I was in TX the guys I knew were just getting started for the day and I was already dogging it in the heat. Rural Texans are tough.

When I lived in Maine, a blistering hot day was the middle 80's and a sweater wasn't needed until the 40's.

A little cool relief today. The weather guys say low 90's and no rain. Anybody else ready for fall?

We are doing our darnedest to get out of DFW today. We have an Ubuntublox workshop in Santa Fe next weekend so we would like to be there tomorrow. The weather forecast for Santa Fe is highs in the eighties and the lows in the fifties. We won't know how to act. Then we are off to Mogollon Rim for two to three weeks of dry camping, 7,500' elevation tends to be a lot nicer in the summer time than the 600' here at home.

Poured down all around us but we only got somewhere between a hog's breath and not enough to get the topside of a cow wet here.

It has been cooler a little more comfortable !!!

Cher stepped out the door Monday night at 9 pm to feed her dog ... One step out and she got bit by a rattle snake ... I didn't see it or find it but she said it was defiantly a rattle snake .. Spent the night and till noon in the hospital ... Dr call the bite a dry bite ... She is swollen up and very sore.

BR- Wow that's terrible. Hope she's on the mend and back at it soon. We wish her luck.

OK, I'm not even going to take the trash out onto the deck in my stocking feet.
