...and a ton of wind.
That may not seem important to you. But when your trailer is rocking so much that even Ruby the dog looks up in alarm...it's important.
It's hot, too. Especially for this time of year. Hey, we had snow just a few weeks ago!
We are smack dab in the middle of strangeness at the ranch -- with at least another week to go. (Maybe two.) This means staying aware of what's around us, taking special care to keep things locked up, and making sure Ruby is nearby. I can't say more right now, but it is one of the stranger situations we've been in, in a year of odd events.
Meanwhile, we continue to tidy up, make repairs...and I work on appraisals and other things. Oh, and plant seeds too, when the wind dies down.
