Momma Deer and the First Cutting of Hay

We had a very busy four days off, Terry got the beans harrowed off (you have to do this or the crust on the top will prevent the little beans from coming through), it’s been so hot and windy that everything has dried out all over again. Irrigating is a constant.

We celebrated Evan’s 39th birthday.  Gosh I’m getting old, Shannon is 41, Evan 39, Kimi 35 and Misty 32  where does time go?

 

Memorial Day we took flowers to graves, looked at where our family plots are and celebrated

With lots of food and family and cooking.

Tuesday, Terry cut the hay…first cutting of the year

The ditch rider came by and locked the gate on our headgate.  The spring run off is over so any extra water is done for the year.  If it stays as hot and windy as it has been we will be changing water every 10 hours instead of 12.  We do get a reprive every once in awhile when a cold front blows through, but that doesn’t last long.

Of course now that the hay has been cut we want the hot weather to stay and rain to come again some other day.  🙂

The following Archaeological Rock Art I call “Momma Deer”.  The white chip-like markes are from people vandalising the ‘sign’ by shooting it with guns.

I have several furlough days in June, but I get to work on my yard (and do some things I can’t get done when I’m getting a pay check ).  It all works out in the end.
