Super Moon

There are 3 super moons this year. The first full moon after the June 21 solstice. Around this time of year, in North America, buck deer start growing antlers, thunder storms rage and farmers struggle to pile up hay in their barns, according to folklore, we call this full moon the Buck Moon, Thunder Moon or Hay Moon.

The Sun and The Moon

It was another blistering hot day today. 104*! We moved the heifers today. Half were along the creek, the other half were at the solar well. Not to bad of a ride. Cameron got the ones along the creek, I got the ones at the water tank. Then the puppies decided to go for a swim in the creek.

We had another gorgeous sunset. And sitting on the back patio, the moon behind the trees was pretty too. Looks like the moon is wrapped in lace.

Can't you just feel the heat?



A lacy moon.

Photo Bombed

Its been hot here the past week. Got up to 100* today! Suppose to get hotter for another few days, then cool back off into the mid 90's. Makes for changing irrigation pipes sticky! At least you have the water too cool ya down.....and the pool at home. And gotta have AC!

Fire season is upon us. There is a forest fire in Ellensburg, almost 200 miles west of us. The smoke makes for some beautiful sunsets though.

Photo bombed by a bird!




My bottle baby, Beanstalk is growing like a weed!

Western Kingbird?

These cute birds are all over around here. I think they are a Western Kingbird. But, for whatever reason we call the B Martins.. I have no idea why!
They are always way up in the trees. But nest down low.
The adults are in the Honey Locust trees and the nest is in the Lilac.
When you go down by their nest, they just flip out and squawk and try to dive bomb you! I pay no attention to them and check on the babies....A few days ago the babies were just little fuzzy heads barely sticking out of the nest. Now they look a little cramped in there!
