A Cool Morning

July 9, 2009 and it was 36 degrees at 6:30am! And, Ellie and the rest of the gang, that is fresh snow way up on that mountain which can be seen from our house. This is a very strange summer, every afternoon a thunderstorm moves through and we get just a tiny bit of rain. It is wreaking havoc on all the ranchers trying to put up hay!

Michael worked on his tractor and baler all day. Nat came for lunch, I grilled steaks and made garlic mashed potatoes.

I cleaned the house, made a batch of bread dough and mowed the grass here at the house.

Late this afternoon Michael decided to take the swather up the road to the Woolsey place and cut the hay. He only got to the bottom of our driveway before he blew a hydraulic hose. He will have to go into town tomorrow morning and get a new one.

Our jungle this year.
