We clipped on Birdy's steer today for Tooele, as fairs get closer the realization comes that summer months are quickly fading. The thoughts of winter following fall are dreary. I still haven't realized why we have to have winter months but since we depend upon winter snow for irrigation I should perhaps stay a bit quite. The summer rains that seemed to have skipped over us the last few months have decided they are going to hang around. I talked to a friend today who is debating about cutting his hay, many in the valley have it down and it's now black. As we pray for the moisture the realization comes there are a few who aren't so happy it's falling but since we do live in a dessert we know that it to will come to an end.
The girls where on the Creek Bed with dad sorting on heifers and it started to rain, in a few short minutes they where drenched to the bone. The lightning was popping so bad they left the cattle in the hay meadow instead of pushing them through to the pasture. Dad sure enjoys going out and working through the cattle, it just lightens his mood. It rained on the hired men all day on the forrest while they were fencing.
Emily and Tawnya are home from college, mom's house is finally alive again. Birdy had taken up residency with me, I sure love my girls. It would be nice if none of us ever had to grow up!
