I'd forgotten about it. Hopefully I'll take it to a covered dish supper soon.<br />So sorry about the dry weather there and the danger of fires and of illness for your cattle. I know all that is so worrying. People ought not drive on metal rims in that kind of weather! All I could think of was the water used to put out his fire could have been used to water cattle instead :( I hope you get good, refreshing rain soon.M.K.https://www.blogger.com/profile/09205619221345704689noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6095103946834851624.post-42670359150936664542016-07-05T11:33:15.757-06:002016-07-05T11:33:15.757-06:00I don't know what is up with blogger, but his ...I don't know what is up with blogger, but his just showed up in my feed. What a lovely June you have had. You know I always thought you would get more rain than 11 inches. You are as dry as we are. I liked what your MIL said about a little patch of green. Right now, that is so important to the eye isn't it. I hope you had a lovely 4th. Interesting about polio. I never have heard of that before. Not in cows. I love reading about your life Jody.

Glad you have good family times ahead for July.

Or do you use a 4-wheeler? It's been eons since I rode a horse, but I lived on one when I was a kid. I can imagine the satisfaction after finishing all of that work with the animals. <br />Enjoy your 4th of July celebrations! I tend to stay home during all of this, but my kids enjoy it all with the grands. :)Lisa Richardshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00567160304529796810noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6095103946834851624.post-63733729601118342352016-07-02T12:19:53.365-06:002016-07-02T12:19:53.365-06:00I don't "lay out" and suntan like we...I don't "lay out" and suntan like we used to as teenagers, but I do love to be in the sun with shorts and a tank doing my work.

I remember boring myself to death as a teenager "laying out" as we called it. Amazing to think about how much time we spent trying to get a good tan!<br /><br />Hope your water supplies stay full and healthy!<br /><br />xofrancesLeft-Handed Housewifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15014518128739580267noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6095103946834851624.post-30518510518829462832016-07-01T23:04:19.716-06:002016-07-01T23:04:19.716-06:00Thankful for your sons who quickly respond to help...Thankful for your sons who quickly respond to help those in need.

To keep the fruit trees going we depended on irrigation water from the reservoir that held the mountain snowmelt. I'm happy to say that the lakes that supply California's Central Valley are full again this year.<br /><br />But I won't see our cabin and lake until August, just before the summer essentially ends for so many people whose lives are tied to school. I am happy that my summer can go on through September, because yes ! it does seem too soon for July to be here.<br /><br />I'm relieved that your cattle still have good water to drink.GretchenJoannahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13641677400029070452noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6095103946834851624.post-38731536710934823872016-07-01T14:33:23.819-06:002016-07-01T14:33:23.819-06:00Great photos of the cows and pronghorn.

I read that they are the antelope of America and that we really don't have antelope. So maybe they should change the lyrics of Home on the Range to "where the deer and the pronghorns play"<br />Hope your water situation improves. Have fun celebrating the 4th and the birthdays this month!ellen b.https://www.blogger.com/profile/14531430948905935301noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6095103946834851624.post-49617544500155311782016-07-01T07:29:21.370-06:002016-07-01T07:29:21.370-06:00Can you believe it's July already?
