Texas Spring/Summer Thread

[CowboyRon]

Just like the town on lake caddo, uncertain Texas. They weren't sure what state they were in.

 

[Bird]

We got .45 inch of rain here.
hugs, Brandi

Our last rain before today was about .13" 8 days ago. But since 6:30 a.m. this morning, we're almost up to 1" and still coming down pretty good; looks like it might be here to stay for awhile.

Glad to hear Y'all are getting some liquid sunshine up there Bird. Been raining here for over two hours.
hugs, Brandi

Toni and I are sitting in a tent on Lake Livingston, has been raining for a couple of hours.

We really needed this slow soaker rain. Pastures were stressed.

 

[Bird]

It's almost stopped raining, may start up again, but about 1.61" so far.

Strong storms this morning. Such a good wife, storm woke her up and she went out and closed up the barn. Horses were really upset. We got 3.7 inches in a few hours. No mowing today, will have to wait till tomorrow.

Rain started here at day break and continued until about 3 pm. Nice, much needed, 2 1/2" of rain. Understand we had about 4" at our home in Richmond.

 

[lostcreekranch]

Another 1/4" of rain mid-day today. Used it as a good excuse to take afternoon off and watch the NASCAR Race at Sonoma.

How's everyone been?

Oh, the same ole same ole. Keepin' busy. Fixin' to pump the pond down to continue enlarging it. After I put in another 200 feet of fence wire. The posts are waitin' and lonely.

How's everyone been?

Hot! And Humid!

We didn't get much rain out of all the showers that were swirling around Texas last couple of weeks. We could sure use some on our place.

Has anyone ever tried to plant watermelons this late?

TB Score,
I go up to Normangee to get them. He gets them by the semi load from, I think, from Myers Cedar Yard in Lampassas. McCoy Lumber in Huntsville gets them from him also. If you need a lot of them, the trip to Normangee is worth it.

But I guess at McCoy's, you can pick through them. In Normangee, I have told him some ones he was putting on were just too bent and curvy. He culled them out. First time I was up there his little Kubota could not load a whole bundle, so I saw the bad ones while loading. Which was good, but I wanted to unload them as a bundle and could not. He's got a larger tractor now that can load bundles. But who ever bundles them up hides bent ones inside. I like a few bent culls, as they add character to a fence, but are way harder to line up.

Cattlemen's Supply in Brenham has some, but I have not looked closely at them. Anyway, I found the guy in Normangee by way of American Classified ads, Bryan edition. I have his name and number. PM me if you need it.
hugs, Brandi

They might sell them in Bellville too.

It is called "ship it until it sticks", we did that in lumber yards, eventually someone will cut it up and use it.

I figured today's post needed a little red, white, and blue. Happy 4th of July.
