The drought broke in August; we grew a lot of grass, but lots of grass died, and so the weeds grew. I thank God for the rains, but they did come with a price. Now we are dealing with Tumble Weeds. I have seen them all my life, but never like this year. Snow plows are out on the County roads, and places they are 6 feet deep for 1/4 mile. My corrals really filled up.






The water tank for the horses and calves is right there!





I've hear people say to "shut the gate" when the wind blows. It appears this one should have been open.


Leaning on the ol' top rail.....


There was plenty of work for the little fork


This one did the bulk of it......two days


Fork after fork went down the alley


to be run over by the mower a few times


Am I even making a dent?


SAY NOW! The boss has made good progress in the house! (She puts macoroni in the slots to help reduce oven mess.)

I should have taken some finished pictures, but I did get the tank and pens opend up again (yeah, we finished the pie ,too). Tomorrow I will tackle some fence cleaning. From past experience, I will bet this process will be repeated a few times before we see grass. I carried the weeds out of the corral to keep a mat from building up.
