Noble souls, through dust and heat, rise from disaster and defeat the stronger.” Henry Wadsworth Longfellow

Still too hot to do much outside - unless you're up and out by 5:00 am...even at 10:00 at night, it's 100 degrees!!!




Despite the heat, the sunsets are magnificent!


The highest temp this thermometer has seen all summer!


DIRT DEVIL


DRY, DRY and more DRY...





With this epic drought, local hay (that is affordable) is almost non-existent...I was able to locate some alfalfa from the Kansas/Oklahoma border...not much, but it sure will help. It'll take a lot more to fill the barn for the winter...




Jake's been cleaning up the pasture, loading and hauling the scrap metal to town and has made some good college money!

I had an idea to make a bracelet from an old bridle rein and add buffalo nickles, so I headed out to my pastor's leather shop. He was not there, but his friend was...






He did a fantastic job!


Red River Valley Museum graciously invited me to display some of my jewelry in there museum store! They did a beautiful job of exhibiting the pieces! Thanks, RRVM!! (check out their facebook page!)








Finally bit the bullet and purchased a gunsafe...the purchase was the easy part...getting it in the house was a different story (especially with just the 3 of us)!!!

PLEASE CONTINUE TO PRAY THAT WE GET RAIN...IT'S DESPERATE AROUND HERE.
