Probably nothing more important in the month of August than water, especially in a dry year when native springs are the least productive, if producing water at all. With no water in Dry Creek for eight miles upstream, we have to pump water for livestock at several locations. The concrete trough above was poured by my father during the drought of 1947 and has become a mecca for native birds and ground squirrels.

Though steamy early, it’s a delightful gray day in the making for man and beast, 78° at 8:30 a.m., bred heifers on the top of the ridges taking advantage of the cool weather. We may break our string of 100° days. It’s all about the weather today.
