Don't hog it all. We only had a shy .2 last night. You have been getting more than us all year. The grass here crunches when you walk on it. It has for a couple of weeks now. Pasture is on its last. If it don't start raining will be feeding hay very soon!

Oh and yesterday had a small calf get heat stroke. I thought he was dead when I found him. Gave him electrolytes and poured water on him to cool him off. Still can't get up today. Had to feed him a bottle. Laying in the sun when I found him. I think the shade moved and he didn't. Weather extremes are the Pitts!

We finally had a few good days, everybody has hay down. Minor system predicted for yesterday, "slight chance of isolated showers"- so far, it has "isolated" about an inch's worth, and no sign of return to hay weather anytime soon. Hope summer's not over!

Fortunately, the guy who does my hay was concentrating on what he already had down, so hasn't cut mine yet, thankfully.

It was getting real bad here up till last night but boy did it make a mess of them driveway hill. Just got back for grading it and it could use some more work but I was getting way to hot to keep at it any longer

Jim I don't live out in the boonies I live at 40h and plumb 40 miles from any where and plumb out in the middle of no where. So did you get wet last night also???????????

Whole state of Tx needs rain.

Our pond is down over 1 ft, maybe 2.

The spring where the horses drink is getting real slow. If this weather keeps up much longer, we"ll have to start filling a tub for them.

We"ve only had one small cutting of hay - got 10 4x4 rounds off the coastal field back in May. The other fields are too short to cut.

Neighbors are calling asking if we have any hay for sale, we don"t.

Folks down here are hurting. Hope the weather pattern changes soon.

We had some huge storms blow through here the other morning. Thought it was going to amount to something,but it came through so fast that all we ended up with was two tenths.

We had some close lightning the other night with seven tenths of an inch rain. Drove past my neighbors to the north the next morning and fairly good size pieces of a cottonwood tree had been blown across the road by lightning. There was a chunk of tree maybe 15 feet long by 12 inches wide by 3-4 inches thick laying on the ground under the tree. Happened at about 2:30 AM. The tree is about twenty feet from their house. They probably had trouble getting to sleep after that one! Then the next night the neighbor a half mile south of me went to do chores in the morning and found half the hog confinement roof sucked off and scattered in his corn field, with the corn flattened. A couple of trees were snapped in his grove but that's all the damage there was. The size of the damaged area was only about 1/8 mile long by four hundred feet wide. The building was about 300 feet from his house and the storm didn't even wake him or his wife. Jim
