[Soapweed]

With a wonderful inch of rain last night, and no wind today, I was finally able to burn about two months worth of salt
and mineral sacks, as well as netwrap from the last bales we fed.

Cattle on holiday

Soapweed in bloom

Lots of the bloomin' things.

Many wild flowers in the hills

Soft and silky

Critters in their natural habitat

Many adventurers would haul one of these outfits hundreds of miles to get to drive it where I have to drive it in the line of duty.

More of nature's splendor

The flies are also enjoying the nice summer days.

The flies have really come on strong the past few days. Our horses are just miserable trying to avoid the blasted things.

The hay actually looks like it might pile up fairly well this year. There seems to be a lot of brome that is getting tall. We have some mowed down, but the inch of rain last night prevented baling it today. That is fine by me; we needed the rain.

A little moisture can sure be a paintbrush to the prairie.

Hope you get the right mixture of moisture and haying weather. This country needs some serious drying time and it doesn't look to be in cards yet.

Let's swap climates for a couple of weeks please. We had our last rain to speak of around the 1st week in may and that was a quarter inch. It's plumb dry here. But it could be worse. And there's folks in way worse shape than us.

Good pics Soap. Cows and range look like they have a fine steward running things. Tell Peach i said great job! :wink:
