Harvester ants explore a sunflower bud north of Kimball this afternoon.

We just had a very brief rainstorm which delivered 0.55 inches of lovely precipitation. The little thunder cell popped up out of nowhere and flowed down from the north. The ones that come from the north often seem to deliver more rain than those coming from the west or south.

Pretty routine day today. Not as warm as it's been so pretty pleasant. I got a lot of little chores done including a trip to Scottsbluff to fetch the F-150 home from recall work. I took the top picture while returning. Also saw a combine offloading on the go while cutting a field of irrigated wheat.

After checking cows this morning Red reported to Mom. "It's all good."
A question about the ranch dog Red prompted a memory and the decision to link to this post. Red's a tough dog!

While I was perusing some other 2016 posts I found this one. Coming hard on the heels of my 2016 Achilles tendon surgery, it should have been a Corpsman Chronicle, but it was not. I blame the drugs.
And now it's time to hit the big bathtub for some hydrotherapy. Just a little achy this evening. A good soak with Dr. Teal's Epsom salts plus melatonin does wonders.

Be well and embrace the blessings of liberty.
We had a patch of fog along the Front Range this morning. My friends over in Steamboat has such thick fog they decided not to cut hay today. Our temps stayed below 90° today.
ReplyDeleteIt's always nice when you get a pause in a hot, dry spell. We had thick fog here this morning and it looks like we'll have a few cool, perhaps even rainy, days. Then comes august!
