Oh My Oh My

Saying it is dry really doesn't cover it.  Every blade of grass is a nice scorched shade of brown out in the pastures.  While managing cattle really isn't the easiest thing to do, when you have to worry about your truck catching the grass on fire when you drive it out to check on things brings everything to a new level.  I do believe this is the driest spell while being the earliest (it really hasn't been uncommon the past couple of years to be dry in late July and early August) but to be this dry in early June causes a person to go into a panic mode and pray more often than before.  Really our only hope, so the all-knowing weather forecasters say, is for a hurricane to push this high pressure out and they are not predicting that to happen until August.  Uggg....looks like this summer is going to be a rough one.
