Shearing gal was sick so we will reschedule. Restarted water and hay with Twister. He wasn’t gulping and grabbing but definitely interested. I’ll step things up gradually and turn him out this evening. Hopefully little squabbling with the other yearling ram who thinks he’s ready to throw down. Dang I really wanted to get him done as 90 degree temps start next week but it is what it is. Hubbs and I could catch him and clipper (not shear) but if you think he looks funny now :lol:

You know - as we say here - pics or it didn't happen! :lol:
70 already at 7 :ep going to 96 -- warmer than at @Weldman's today (going to try and do a 'return to sender' on it ;).
Ranch compost and waste management clinic today. Might be interesting.

Did well overnight, no cramps, SO thankful!

Coffee and errands this morning: Publix, farmers' market, craft show next to it. Came home with a rooster flag, a couple crocheted animals for the grands (Bluey and Bingo!), and two Pepperidge Farms lemon cakes for upcoming birthdays.

Now I am headed outside, to finish the rain barrels...before the rain forecast for the next few days, and the heat arriving at the end of the week.

Those are @canesisters irises on the right. I moved a fern from another spot in the yard, think it will like the damp niche.

This is what the downspout looked like this morning, before I started. No more water by the foundation!

Note: I did not remove the stump, but adjusted the blocks to fit.
