Record heat?

Well the heat has finally come. Yesterday it was 92* Fahrenheit, the weatherman is forecasting 99* for today, and then cooling down tomorrow to a nicer 93*. Hopefully we won't get over a hundred...but this is good haying/hay drying weather. A couple years ago...2006?... The temperatures hovered right at 104* and 105* for three or four days. Everybody and everything was wilted!

Fixing some barbed wire fencing around the corral orchard is on the agenda before it gets too hot to be working. Luckily, there's some shade from the apple trees.

Took this on Saturday, when Dad and I were rebuilding a couple bared wire gates(another post).

I do like that weed NOT to be in my garden (they're dastardly) but horses eat the flowers like they're candy.

Linda, We usually don't get the bull thistles in the garden, but the canadian thistles like in this one spot in the big garden. And the horses do love to eat 'em.

kdwhorses,that's too much heat! I like it hot, but not that hot! If we get any rain(hopefully not for the next few days because of the hay),I'll send some your way!
