Monday July 13

Clouds over the foothills.

East Fork River, looking upstream from the bridge.


Raven with potato chip sack, one of her favorite things to do. Wish you could see this, because it's pretty funny.

Today has been more cloudy than most days lately, and a gusty wind is blowing - might be around 30 mph. The hay is sure looking good. I might try taking a video of the hay blowing in the wind, waving fields of grain, and put it on the blog. You are supposed to be able to do that. The river levels are beginning to drop, and I've been surprised how much they've gone down in the last week or so.

Doc stopped me on the road outside the gate Saturday and said they had taken the cattle out of that field and we could leave the gate open now (i.e. cows won't come into our field). That is always nice news not to have to get out of the vehicle twice at every gate, just drive on through for a couple of months or so. All the cattle will go onto the mountain pastures today. The cowboys should be trailing them up through the forest now to get to their summer grazing grounds. They won't come down again until fall.

So far today I've mainly been catching up the blog for the days I missed last week. I'll spiff up one of the bedrooms for Edis' visit. Everything else is o.k. as I cleaned house good a couple of days ago. Nothing exciting happening to write about. Oh, I didn't tell you how well the B Complex supplement is working to make Sparky much more calm. From almost the first day, he has done less barking and panting.
