Heat

Posted on July 27, 2008June 8, 2014

During noontime breaks, when you’ve been working since 4:30 AM, you find the closest shade and take advantage of it!  And around here, sometimes trees are scarce.  Pickups aren’t!  It has been HOT and DRY!  We cringe when thunderstorms approach, dreading lightning and the wildfires they bring.  The wet spring brought tons of grass, but we haven’t had much rain lately and everyday hits the high 90’s.  Our handheld radios constantly scan for fire and ambulance calls… and we constantly hope we don’t hear a thing!

Lucas found early in his life the benefits of juniper shade…

Dally and Elsa choose bigger trees to shade up under!

But best of all is the fact that we live between a creek and an irrigation ditch, so at any time of day, the dogs are welcome to visit either… here, even our visitor “D” learned of the joys of the ditch.  Notice Elsa with her face completely underwater!  We will continue to try to avoid the heat…

Carol, Wyoming rancher

Since 2008, I’ve kept this photographic journal of life on our working Wyoming ranch.  I share ranch work, my family, crafts and DIY, my English Shepherds, Bravo and Indy, and a love for this land.  Enjoy this red dirt country!
