Thanks, Dave. Now all I have to do is round everyone up. Gotta an extra corral in your bag of tricks?

I'll get the cattle panels out and the squeeze chute out and we'll get everyone loaded right up!

Thanks!

Vera is almost sticking her tounge out at you!

It wouldn't be the first time i've had to deal with a sassy cow. Just so she doesn't step on me! Or kick...

Anyone who has dealt with milking cows knows how the phrase "she kicked the bucket" came to be!

Isn't that the truth.

Thankfully Daisy doesn't kick buckets. She has very good milk parlor manners.

Hi everyone. I'm looking forward to an active new site. I hope lots of folks join in.

This is great! I can keep up with what Kathleen is doing!

Gee, I didn't know that you moved that slowly!

Hi. This weather we're having makes me jolly glad I'm not having to deal with the hot barn and hot cows..........

I got a photo of this at the vintage Tractor Display at Hampton Court Palace show, which I went to.
Bring back any memories for anyone, it does me.
Regards.
Neil.

Hi folks. Thanks Dave and Kathleen! LOVE your photo Kathleen! With your "quilted" barn in the background...lovely
I worry about my bunnies in this heat. Hitting triple digits with heat index yesterday and today. Not much I can do to keep them cool except run all the fans I have.

Nasty wind went through this morning a bit before 7. Some rain, but not really a whole lot. Blew down part of our apple tree. Unfortunately it was the part that I have my orchid cactus hung on. Now will have to find them a new home.

We had a strong wind storm last week; like yours it was all wind and no rain - ratz! We lost some pieces of trees and a couple of shutters off the front if the house, but down the road from us a neighbor's barn lost about half of its roof.
Was the orchid cactus growing directly on the tree?

No, no.............huge hanging baskets.

Our pears are getting ripe and falling but, due to the drought, are the size of ping-pong balls! I picked up a bucket full of them and the pigs thought they were quite wonderful. They actually are tasty but almost too much trouble to eat.

I almost hate to mention this but we FINALLY had some rain. At least 3 inches since Thursday night. And I just pumped half of the county's total out of my cellar. *sigh*

Oh, Anna- talk about can't win for loosing
