Knock-on-wood, but this summer has not been THAT bad. We had rains into July with plenty of cloudy days. Even these first couple of weeks of August haven't been awful. But it could all go south pretty quickly...
Ben continues to work with Fancy. I was told that Ben and Fancy are representing and promoting the ranch. Hmmm... I am not real sure what message we're trying to get out there, but Fancy certainly may not be the best ambassador for us!!! Ben, on the other hand, is perfect. What a combo!!!
Looked out in the pasture the other morning and I didn't see Lance, the bull. I did see a shape that looked like a bull, but without the white face. Well, that was Lance. He had found some charcoal from an old brush pile burn and had rubbed the dark coal all over his face. In the shade, he didn't look at all like himself. A day or so later, several of the girls had also rubbed the coal all over their faces. Must be the new facial regimen everyone is into...
The swallows are awful! The back porch is as nightmare!!!! They left August 25th last year, so I'm hoping they'll be gone by then this year. I have someone lined up to power wash the porch when they do leave (Ben).
I killed a rattlesnake who was hanging out around the back porch eating baby birds when they fell out of their nests. It was small, but it had a couple "baby bird" size lumps in its belly!!!! Honestly I think I prefer the snake getting the babies rather than the dogs bringing the babies into the house. I wish the swallows were gone!!!!
The deer feeder is cranking out the corn so we're seeing deer under it in the mornings. In the afternoons if the cows are nearby and they hear it go off, they'll run over to get a "corn treat."
