Where the h-ll is SPRING

[Royd Wood]

Herfrds - The English are famous for moaning about the weather - should have left that trait over there when we moved
Oh no dont want a drought thats the worst but prob due one as the last 3 years have been pretty good for summer rainfall.
Well we got all the feeders filled and manure spread so things are looking up

Still raining, river is over the road so I have to detour around to get to work. Supposed to rain all week but the river isn't supposed to get any higher.

Tornado passed over us yesterday. We lost a few shingles and had construction materials spread all over the property. Neighbor on the top of the hill lost the roof off his barn. It landed about 200 yards away in the cow field across the road. Our house and barn are down in the holler. We worry about the creek rising but any higher up and the tornado would have been MUCH worse!

Spring is here! Can I have winter back? At least frozen ground doesn't suck you boots down into it like the mud.

Maybe the title should be...

Where is the firm ground, just the right amount of rain, beautiful skies and lovely weather?

I think we all complain about the weather. Gotta complain about something.

I had some people complaining about how cold it was last summer. Told them I would rather deal with a little cold then the 113 degrees we had a couple years before. No more complaints from them.

We are waiting for the ground to dry out more so we can even get in the fields to start planting our malt barley.
The guy that spreads our fertilizer got one of his trucks stuck. They tried to pull it out and the rope snapped and they busted a bunch of hoses on the other truck. They had a logging chain on it too.

It's very soggy here too:/

Suppose to snow here again on either Thursday or Friday. Had rain showers off and on yesterday. Foecast is it is to be nice today.

Suppose to brand on Saturday guess we will see.

I have seriously had enough of the rain!! We now have to carry the chickens out of the coop to higher ground so that they can free range. The coop is elevated but the water is now up to the bottom of it and the girls just look at the water and then at us and back at the water when we wade through to open the door for them

We got ripped with 120 km winds this morning with trees tossed like toothpicks barns and coveralls destroyed but yet again it seems so trivial to what has happened with you guys down in the States.
Its a total different view from our place as whole tree lines and woods have disappeared

We are 50 miles from the Texas Gulf Coast.

We are in a horrible drought. Have had less than 1/4 inch rain all year. Our grasses are brown in the sheep pastures and there is exposed dirt and sand everywhere. The grass in the horse pasture is disappearing, but we still have a little drying green grass on the track of land where the house is.

It feels like August here. In fact, I keep thinking it is August.
