Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

[rural mouse]

I wish I could send you some relief from that heat.

It's just crazy this year, the weather... Hard on the livestock all this up and down temps.

Was high of 50f on Monday, rainy, etc. Friday supposed to be 90f. We've at least been getting rain the ground can absorb. Some areas (like Yellowstone) got so dry last year that water is just running over the surface. Combine gully-washer rain storms with warm temps flash melting the snow and you end up with washed out roads and the Park closed, likely for the whole summer to get roads rebuilt/moved. The river wasn't washing over the roads in the park, it was cutting the bank away and taking road beds with it. With the ground as dry as it was, cool temp, slow melts, and drizzly days are needed. Tax pics to come later. New phone arrived, took some pics to test out the camera, still getting other stuff set up.

Thirsty Thursday

From 5 years ago today. Daisy, The Greatest Hen Ever, enjoying my beverage and computer. She offered to perform my job for me while standing in my lap. I said "sure" and prepared to take a break. But she just went on Beakbook instead. It did make me wonder if that's what she thought I did all day.

Notice the old prefab in the background. It does look a lot nicer now.

Tax pics, assorted playing with camera shots

This one will take panorama pics, so those will start showing up too.

Braving the water restrictions for a few minutes. Thirsty Thursday, heat wave, 32c/90f is enough for all. So not sorry we don't live in Texas.

Beautiful pics. Your photography skills are going to really leap forward I think.

I am jealous of your cat - I feel the need of a nap.
