Day 209 Heading to the Mountains
Tuesday, July 27 – Here are some shots from last week when we were moving the cattle to the mountain pasture. There is a photo of a group of calves waiting to load, a photo of the loading chute that the semi backs up to, and Walter’s horse or the closest thing he gets to a horse anymore. Funny thing is, he bought that 4 wheeler for me and I am still on a horse and he rides it. I am heading out to Shelby tomorrow morning to pick Debbie up from the train. I hope that the weather cooperates. There is a flash flood warning for the Highwoods today. The culvert might have washed out at our cabin again. We had one heck of a storm last night. The rain gauge says 3 inches at the shop. Saw a little bit of hail right at the beginning, but don’t know if there was any damage or not. Walter is just grateful that he got as many acres swathed as he did. There is a whole lot of almost ripe grain that is now flat from that storm; which is what everyone was worried about with the saw flies making the stems so weak.
