Keep Comin' Big Boy! We Need The Rain!

A scorpion with little ones on its back! South Texas is scorpion paradise! Yard work, Loading square bales ‘hay’, Pulling green corn all could be hazardous! However I prefer 'zapps’ from scorpions over wasps or honey bees as they dont hurt as much. According to my grandfather when dried corn was hand harvested 'pulled’ and tossed into a mule drawn wagon the harvester could expected many scorpion stings on his/her hands. Asking about gloves he replied gloves made it difficult to grip the corn so were not used.

Its so HOT in South Texas even a shepherd will get in the water!

Newborn died. Then a mama died. Trying to make a new family! Sloppy work on my part..got in a hurry… but it was a success! The mama took a sniff, then a lick and accepted her new baby!

I have a partner today checking the cows! She loves me no matter what.

Its hot out! Barn swallows uh... in the barn! They are welcome!

Folks south Texas is having a major rain event! 10 to 15 inches in two weeks! Amazing!

The boss lady leading 2 nurse cows and 6 orphans with feed! Beautiful day!

What I used to haul water from 'tank' to cattle troughs.

Just want to take a minute and thank God for the rain we’ve had almost four inches here in South Texas. North of here in the Hill Country had 10 to 12 inches.
