It’s 104-105* here with a real feel of 111-112*
It’s so hot the trees are protesting by losing their leaves
Mom says it’s hard to keep things wet.
Dad agrees with her.
Black and sun make a doggie pant
The heat makes a kitty with two coats a tad tired.
HOT!! Is the word for the week!

It grew too hot to bale hay—Dad only bales hay when the dew is on the hay.
When he came inside he said, “Let’s go for a ride”.
Mom picked me up and got in the pick-up with Dad; off we went–
to the Uncompahgre Plateau where we saw lots of neat things.
At one point— Mom and Dad and I went for a walk so Mom could get a photo
Of the Lone Cone, way over there by Norwood, Nucla, and Naturita.

Apollo in the back, Loki in the front.
It’s taken me a long time to accept other dogs. I can finally do so with these two.

I’ve always liked company—dogs of all types.

Second cutting of the first field—three more to go.
We start baling in the morning!

Black Beauty is COOL!!!
(We think we should have some! TLC and Boo Berry)
It is HOT! Mom! HOT!
I NEED IN! MOMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM!!!
Hot isn’t too bad…I can do hot! I just hang in the shade.
What I can’t do is the wind!!!
Hot and WIND! I need in, also!
(We need rain…to settle the dust and to cool us down. It can rain anytime now, but come next week—no, rain—we will be cutting the alfalfa for the second time this year)

A Gambol’s Quail after it just landed and just before it ran off.

So I had to try and see if I could find them with my hand-held camera
Out by the grain bin! SHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH! Careful. (I didn’t take the dog, just say’n.)
So much fun!

Mom said, “Boo Berry, I think it’s time for a bath and a haircut.”
So she picked me up—took me on a car ride. Dropped me off and LEFT ME!!!
Then came and got me (I WAS SO EXCITED TO SEE MOM)!
“Nice!” Mom proclaimed.
“Very Nice”, announced Dad
Cooler, I thought!
Boo Berry Betty!
