He's an optimist :) <br /><br />2007 was awful. I was lucky to have a handshake deal with a good hay farmer, and he kept my four horses fed with decent round bales at $60/bale. That was high for the area, but way cheaper and nicer than the feed store hay. I feel <i>so</i> bad for my friends in Texas!Funderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06358687366401205336noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2113210295764288330.post-30128846671259884802011-08-08T14:43:47.944-05:002011-08-08T14:43:47.944-05:00My thoughts go out to those suffering through extr...My thoughts go out to those suffering through extreme weather right now. If you'd like a break, come to the western side of washington, we haven't broke the 80degree threshold yet in our area. While not normally a heat zone, we normally have at least 1 or 2 days of 100+ weather and at least a month of 90+... alas, early August and no heat. I will count my blessings, keep waering my sweatshirts, and be glad for our abundant green grass (although my yearling looks like a piglet right now and is on nothing but grass, ugh).hammerhorseshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07144749417680923288noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2113210295764288330.post-86184144830019209542011-08-07T20:15:53.797-05:002011-08-07T20:15:53.797-05:00We're having the worst drought anyone here can...We're having the worst drought anyone here can remember (s.e. coast), although thank goodness we have had a few (3) little rains in the last couple of weeks. Our water table was getting so low that our wells were failing as well. <br /><br />Also sending good wishes for rain out to Texas and Oklahoma!Calm, Forward, Straighthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08360276614916635500noreply@blogger.com
