Molly turns 25 - amid extreme heat / dry spell!

This weekend, we were at the farm in the middle of one of the hottest dry spells I recall since owning Go Away. We were there to celebrate Molly's 25th birthday. Scroll down a little and you'll see the wettest it's ever been just about 60 days ago.... Things are weird in Texas. However, the heat (over 100 degrees daily, and reaching 104 Saturday) didn't stop Bryan, Jonathan, Leah Defelice and other's from horseback riding (a little) and being outside.

We have been trying for weeks to get someone to cut the hay. No one is available, or our place is too small, or their equipment is broken, or they got out of the hay business... This week, we have a new guy hopefully coming to cut it. If we could just get a shower, it would help put some life back into it. I need to turn our cows and horses back on the pastures any day. Too dry.

The tomatoes have been special this year! They have been abundant and beautiful. We made pico de gallo Saturday and put us several quarts and pints. Sure smelled wonderful. Can't wait to try it out after it sets a little.
