Texas Spring/Summer Thread

[Western]

Glad to have the work Jim, just tired of being gone all the time, but as you say, I'm glad to be getting paid.

Brakes done, was a snap just changing the whole assembly on 4 wheels:thumbsup: Now to mow the yard before it gets warm.

Glad you guys are getting some decent rain this year.
Last year we were drowning in rain in June.
This year we have received 0.50 total all in one rainy day for the past
26 days. Temp going to 90's again in a couple days and only 20% chance
of rain 2 days next week.

I can't sing, but I think the song is suppossed to be: "It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas" not Texas

How hot is it?
It's so hot the Blue Heron stood this way for an hour today cooling his wings while the frogs croaked at him.

It's hotter here than a June Bride in a feather bed.

Ron, not everywhere is getting the big rain numbers down here. Many people had 3-4 inch rains this last event, but I got only 1-1/2". It's hard to fill ponds when you can't keep the ones you already have full. I'm not complaining too much though. My yard is green and in need of mowing this morning without my having to put a drop of water onto it. Anytime I have a green lawn in June without sprinklers, it's a great month. Sorry for your drought and heat. We sure can identify with that. We have two gray herons and two big white ones on our lake.

June is starting out as the coolest on record. Lots of rain and temps barely hitting the 90's with a couple days that never got out of the 80's. Mother Nature has a way of balancing it out. Gives us one hot year, then the next year it's cooler. One dry year, and then a wet year to make up for it. I bet that in ten years when we look back at last year, it will be a bump on a graph that isn't all that remarkable, just like how cool this year has been wont be all that special either.

Jim,
It's just our turn in the weather cycle. My pond is lower now than it was in September last year. Wheat, oats, hay were all a month early for harvest this year. The prediction for corn is bad, but it usually is regardless of the weather, this time of year. Gives the future's traders something to be on the phone about.
Haven't seen any new pond construction pictures from you in a while?
I'm going out to work in the shade of the woods. She if I can get some chiggers

We ended up with 1-1/4" here in Oakwood and just 10miles north outside Fairfield got 3".
