Branding

Branding is always something to look forward to in the summer. Even though it is so dry and dusty it always is a good time. There are so many cute calves this year. We had a great time with all that came to help on both days.

We had a fun week with the cousins. Josh and Savannah spent the week with us while Jen and Boyd were on the trek. They had a great time running wild.

NH

smoke at the NH two days ago

smoke from horsesprings

This fire is making me sick! We spent the last few days over at the NH and the smoke was so bad. It looked like the fire was right there by the color of the smoke. It got really bad a few days ago that I just had this sick feeling of having it make it our way. Then that night two sheriffs came to the door and gave us a pre evacuation notice saying the fire isn't real close now but it could come this way in a hurry. I can not imagine what everyone who has that fire in there back yards are feeling like. It is a horrible thing. I hope they can get it under control!
