It's been a week now of very very hot weather. Keeping the cows cool and healthy is a daily (and nightly) challenge. When it's this hot, we keep the cows in during the day and run the funnel fans over them, just to try to keep them somewhat comfortable. If we put them outside, they just stand at the gate and don't go munch grass. They'll then come in the barn, just panting. Sounds like we're in for atleast a few more days of this.
Hay is down, trying to dry. With it this humid, it's rather hard to coax it along to dry. But second crop needs to be in the haymow already, so it gets cut, whether it's going to dry fast or not. There is a chance of rain today, so we'll see if the hay gets washed or not! Rain has been falling rather heavily all around us, but there's a little area in our southern part of the county and the neighboring county that has missed the rain every time. Although I hate to see the hay get rained on, we could use it! It's rather depressing to see the rain go north, the rain go south. Rain goes north, rain goes south. Every time.
But we continue to trust that God will bring us the rain when he's good and ready. He has carried us this far - what else can we do but trust?
