Lotta Rain!

The drought was finally broken when my area had over eight inches of rain in a week not long ago.  Finally, RAIN! Now the grass is growing and everything is green. My horses finally have plenty of green grass to eat. I am hoping to buy this year's new oat hay from Phillip, my friend in Riesel, that I bought hay from last year, too. Due to the drought of several years, hay has gone up in price, so much so that it is difficlut to find and buy. Many of my friends have liquidated their stock, both horses and cattle, as cannot afford to feed them. I have fed alfalfa hay from Arizona and Bermuda Grass hay, also from Arizona. Good hay,  but just like solid gold in price! Whoopeee!!!  We have made it through the winter, so all will be okey-dokey.
