Rain, Rain and More Rain

We have a storm coming in AGAIN!  I guess it is winter, oops late fall, but ….I really was enjoying the sun.  The storm is supposed to hit here this evening with blowing rain and snow.

This is the storm getting closer and closer to us.  You can see Hay Stack Mountain in the clouds.  Once the storm leaves the canyons, it will head our way….

Then to top all of that out, the neighbor’s spring’n heifers (20 in number) broke through the fence, we had to round them up and take them home.

But on a happier note, the cow that was down at Misty’s is experiencing ‘herd action’ again.  The baby thinks this is a big world and having a ball.

R is for Ricochet

I requested a letter from Linda at http://prairierunner.wordpress.com/  to participate in this meme.  Here are my things that start with R

1.     R is for ricochet—what my body looks like after Thanksgiving. I can’t image what this month is going to do for it (sigh)

 

2.     Reader- I am reading three books Right now

 

3.     Rooms that still need to be cleaned before Christmas (3)

 

4.     Roosters-I have two. The other one went to live with a little girl in town

 

5.     Rottweilers-Rock and Balou belong to my daughter Shannon.  They are having a great time learning to be country dogs

 

6.     Red grain truck-Terry says the grain truck is Red, I say it is orange

7.     Raccoons leave tracks around the farm, in the yard, and down our Road

 

8.     Rain fell for five days, all through the Thanksgiving holiday.  I love that the sun is shinning now

 

9.      Raisins are NOT liked by my chickens…whoever heard of a chicken not eating everything

 

10.                         Roger is my husband’s brother

 

If you would like to do this just leave a comment and I’ll be happy to assign you a letter!

I Love Where We Live

Big sky’s, blue mountains, the sun, the moon, the rain, growing things….what more could a person ask for?

Rain Lovely Rain

The hay isn’t down ANYWHERE around us, nor are there hay bales setting in the field waiting to be picked up, so this rain is wonderful!

The sky is fresh, the leaves have been washed, and the ground isn’t as thirsty as before.

 

With the Warm Sun and Cool Rain the Desert Blooms were Wonderful

Most of the cactus had pink or yellow flowers, but this one was a great red.

 

The Rains Came

 

What a mess! 

Although the rains are good for the yard, and the hay seeds and new crop, it is hard on the sprouting corn.

This will take several days to dry out!  But … I don’t have to worry about watering! 

 

Terry had to have the irrigation water turned off, everything is just TOO wet!
