Good way to start day - when someone drives up & tells you one of your bulls is on the road. Fortunately (or unfortunately) it was one of our neighbors' which we had sold to them. Now he's busy breeding our Cows & Heifers as he broke thru our fence - a couple of them are in heat (really wanted to wait for Spring for this, but Mother doesn't always give us what we plan & he does have excellent blood lines).

At 7:54 the Storm was mostly gone (gauge emptied of 0.38"), just a light diminishing Drizzle hanging around, before picking up again @ 8:00. Looks like we're in for an interesting night.

At 3:58pm a booming Thunder clap & a few large drops, then @ 4:01 the heavenly dam opened coming from the SW. By 4:50 direction changed to NW then straight down.

At 5:17pm the N.W.S. issued a Severe Thunderstorm Warning until 6pm w/60mph winds & 1/4 size Hail.!!! At 6:10, the tap was suddenly turned off - cold - & gauge emptied of 1.35" water.

A Rain storm around 4pm, only lasting about 1/2 hr. left 0.10" in the gauge. Not at the homestead, so don't know exact time of the storm.

Temps = 94/73º, varying SW breezes w/some (but not enough) gusting into mid teens & a blazing sun. This heat makes haying dangerous - everything w/b too dry & can spark, but the hay has t/b cut & brought in.

Mon Temps = 95/72º, SW breezes & the sun was, again, out in full force. Need some strong winds & clouds as everything's "burning" up[/drying out in the relentless sun.

About 3pm some cloud cover & a quick several drops fell @ 4pm, lasting, maybe, 10 min. - it was interesting watching them dry as they hit the walkways & vehicles windows (making the dust on them worse). The N.W.S. extended the HEAT ADVISORY until 8pm Sat.
7/21/2016 7:25 AM 0.00 0.0 0.00 0.0 0.00 Thurs 7:25am 76º, H=92%, DP 74º, AP 30.14", SE breezes, a light Dew & sunny.

Nothing like having someone stop to tell you 1 of your bulls is on the road & by 6am your searching w/your neighbors, only to find it was a "practical joke". Thurs Temps = 95/75º, mild SW breezes & the same old blazing sun drying everything out. Don't ask what it the THI was, suffice it to say that even a short walk was like wading thru obstructions.

The weather from the past few months thru now seem to be "waking up" Prairie seeds that have been dormant, since we have some species we haven't seen here in years. Weeds (esp. those that are toxic &/or have "thorns"), unfortunately, are thriving & have to be cut out of the hard ground - we need Rain. Sat. Temps = 98/74º, SW mild breezes never it into the teens & the sun wouldn't quit.

Mon Temps = 86/72º, breezes minimal, overcast & occasional Raindrops which only gave us a Trace of moisture. At least not in the 90's, some relief.

About 2:20pm the sky's coloring took an ominous turn, tree leaves turned w/that eerie coloring that indicates a storm moving in & the air became unusually still. Hoped it wouldn't jump over us again. A lot of loud Thunder & light Rain, then a heavy downpour lasting about 15-20 min. & T dropped about 15º, petering out to a light Drizzle. Everything gone by 5pm - even the walks dry, but we did get 0.34" & needing more.

By the time we got back to the house about 1pm we were drenched but everyone was a pasture where we don't have to worry about unwanted pregnancies.
