Dog Days of Summer


The "Dog Days of Summer" are upon us. Around our place this means a number of things. We've endured a number of 100 plus degree days as well as a drought. We have been fortunate to receive some relief from it all. We had six days of stormy weather in which we received over six inches of rain and enjoyed well below average temperatures. A break in the weather vastly improved our situation. We were able to get another round of bush-hogging done at the exact right time. Now instead of looking all brown and burned up, our pastures are nice and green. Our orchard and vegetable garden have also been revived by the change of weather. For the record on the steamy hot summer days our canines spend their days napping in front of a fan in the well air-conditioned living room.

We had two days of 100 degree, and the rest of the summer has been mid80s. In fact, our growing season is nearly over...36 degrees the other night.

Try to stay cool, and thanks for stopping by. :)
