But. it was a roping, FH! Isn't that the very best place in the world to be, for fans? No fussing about mere details???? So I've been told when complaining of 'uncomfortable' conditions for mere spectators!
Just another rainy morning here. Not getting much, and finished up branding late calves, so now we will be wanting it a bit dryer so the hay can be cut. Mostly wild hay, and lots of clover, not as fussy as good alfalfa hay, tho we may have a little of that, too, it the bugs haven't gotten it yet.
Company (20 year old granddaughter and friend from the city) just left after a great three days 'out in the wilderness' so to speak coming from Omaha/Lincoln, with ties to family ties to NYC. Fun showing them the small town sites, sounds and fun. We did learn Sat. night that little kids' tennis shoes with the lights will 'keep on ticking' while running through impromptu water puddles for 30 minutes after a brisk shower! And little cowboys still like to run through puddles with their boots on. Mine weren't the only ones who ever did that! I'm betting those little boots fit a bit better the next day, anyway. sure was fun to watch......other parents having to deal with it!
Good time at the Belevidere fire department supper!
