Summer Heat Wave 2006

Does anyone else hate this heat wave??? With no rain all summer you would think that haying would be easy this year. The humidity is not helping the hay dry at all, and I feel like all I’ve done all summer is put up feed.

Thankfully, Dad is letting me take the truck and trailer next weekend for a two-day trail ride with some friends. I’m taking my three-year old paint gelding. He needs a lot of work, but I just have not had time this summer to train him. Maybe after harvest I can ride him everyday and get some really good training in. He is pretty green – for a cow horse.

I hate to say it…but I’m actually looking forward to school this year. One more year and then FREEDOM! I want to buy a quarter of my own after graduation, but my parents want me to get on somewhere as a welding apprentice (or some kind of trade) as a backup to farm work…maybe?
