    We haven’t even attempted to cut our grass here in northeast Texas. Our grass is dead and crunchy. I can’t even walk around without getting little broken pieces on my socks that stick like needles. Nothing is growing but we do have a bit of long sparse areas. We are concerned we may hit a stone and ignite a fire so we are waiting on the rains to come and not worrying about it! Love you all! 🙏❤️

I saw a video the other day of how to get a plate of sorts and place little pebbles on it spread a bit and have water on the plate, so the bees have a place to drink water and stand on the pebbles when they are drinking. Even the insects are suffering.

    I know how you feel, Danny. I just had to sell all five of my Nubian milk goats after one of them, while trying to keep me from isolating her in a small pen, jumped into me. She knocked me up into the air, and I came down flat on my back. My spine was fractured and I had to undergo a surgery called a Kryoplasty. Healing well now but very slowly. By the way, I am 86 years old.

    Good afternoon Mr. Danny and Ms. Wanda think the last rain we had was Francine down here in South Louisiana. We are dry as a bone with no real rain forecast. Enjoy watching the cub work. Hilled our field for the first time with the cub we purchased here Sunday and wow what a time saver that is. Used to do it by hand with a hoe and it literally took me all day now about 10 minutes . My wife said paid for itself already I was like good then I can buy some more parts 😂. Become difficult for our neighbors again this year to keep the livestock fed in the fields with this lack of rain. Thank y'all for sharing and have a blessed day.

    Danny you’re having the same weather problems we’re having in Texas. I’m sick of this hot dry weather. We’ve had one mild cold front that moved through with zero rain about two weeks ago but that’s it. The temp still got up in the 80’s. It’s been in the 90 degree range here also. I haven’t seen any deer nor any coming to my feeder only a few hogs. Usually by now I would have some deer coming around.
