There are only 2 months out of the whole year that deer flies aren’t attacking Buford’s ears. The flies bite, Buford scratches and it results in big raw sores. It’s awful. I’ve tried all sorts of things, most of which were awful and he was not one bit interested in ever letting me do that again...

Productive morning. I worked ewes in front field. First I fed them in small night pen and closed that cow panel gate. Then I unrolled the horse wire over to that pen and propped it up with a lawn chair. I really know how to do things don’t I? Then I opened both 16’ gates and closed their gate...

Finished second cup of coffee. The goat weed I have is also known as wooly croton. Livestock doesn’t eat it. It takes over a field. I mow and battle the darn stuff. I didn’t make it to mowing it yesterday. Go check my post on my journal. LOL I got ewe lambs sorted out, will sort out some ewes to...

I weaned ewe lambs in the front field yesterday morning. I have to do so much prep work to move the ewes across the driveway. First, don’t let ewes out in the middle field, keep them in the night pen. Otherwise they hang around and get into everything. I have opposite gates that make a runway...

Coffee is ready, on my second cup. High of 95 today and 96% humidity. I’ve got to sort out some sheep this morning, maybe set a round bale of hay and mow goatweed in the middle field. I’ll stop and take plenty of breaks for ice water and cooling off.

Thursday afternoon Teresa (Mike CHS) called when I was halfway through with evening chores. I sat in the shade to talk with her, thanks for that call, I was HOT and DRENCHED. I had been working outside in the heat and humidity until noon, when exhaustion and heat drove me inside. Just evening...

There is a pet rescue that is helping capture and hopefully reuniting pets with their owners. This dog belongs to a lady identified only as Miss Jo, who lost 8 of her dogs. The Cajun Navy 2016 found their bodies and gave them a respectful burial at home. Her house was flooded and these good...

Me and Carson on the mule, going to get the mail.

I just saw this. What an example of giving what you have, when you have nothing. Makes me cry.

Coffee is ready, on my second cup. Then I’ll get outside and finish up fixing up the hoop shelter in the front field. It needed a new tarp and I can only work until 11:30 or 12 noon. It just gets too hot. I take plenty of breaks, lots of ice water and cool off. A coup of days ago, searchers...

Daughter called me this morning. Sadly, Pepper is going to be put down tomorrow. Her bone structure is bad, shoulders, hips and her spine is bowed up. She falls a lot. She has been on medication for some time for the pain and seemed to be doing good. Yesterday she attacked the UPS guy with my...

I did some research on how long it takes to declare someone dead. 7 YEARS. 3 YEARS under special circumstances-maybe. So I just sent a message to the governor expressing my concern for the legal limbo hell the families will be forced to endure, asking if he could make a special exception for...

President Trump and First Lady Melania were here, along with our Governor Abbot. Hurting people clamor for their appearance, to show they care, and they do. What most don’t realize is for a president to appear, Secret Service must secure the area, nobody in or out, wherever they are, all actions...

Texas Hill Country has many volunteers, many sending money, FEMA, our Texas based beloved grocery store, HEB. HEB actually has disaster 18 wheelers that roll up to disasters. You might say we have our own version of FEMA. Governor Abbot called President Trump and asked for military helicopters...

A little neighborly help this morning. Courtney texted the shot I heard was her shooting a raccoon that was after her chickens. Anatolians were raising cane, looking in her direction. Then she called, only wounded the coon, it ran off, meanwhile she had to go get her toddler, could I come shoot...

Hill country is getting hammered again. Rivers are flooding again, mandatory evacuations. Search and recovery efforts are stopped for safety. Some 150 still missing.

The Wilson family camped overnight on July 4, on their way for Shiloh to compete in a youth rodeo. They were swept away and drowned. The parents were found first, several days later, Shiloh was found. I went to Kingwood yesterday to show support for the family of Jeff, Amber and finally...

Who knows?

Good Saturday morning! News is showing possible heavy rain this afternoon. I’ll get anywhere from zero to 4 inches of rain.

I learned to drive in Houston. I have nerves of steel. :lol:
