AND 'BOY-OH-BOY' WAS IT EVER STUCK!!

By 6 a.m. this morning it was already 65F so I knew we were in for a hot and humid day.  Tried to think of something different to do or go but my mind came up empty so it was our old Bayfield/Varna route we soon found ourselves on again.  Luckily there was a slight breeze and I didn't think it was as humidly hot as Thursday morning.  

THIS DRY WEATHER HAS BEEN GREAT FOR FARMERS CUTTING AND BALING HAY

Managed ourselves a walk on the dead-end road near Kerr's Campground resulting in one Deer Fly bite and two Mosquito bites.  Not bad considering the time of year, the heat, humidity, and our close proximity to a swampy area.

THIS DEAD END ROAD IS ALWAYS GOOD FOR A WALK

DAISIES ALONG THE WAY

LOOKS LIKE WHEAT TO ME

EVEN A NICE FOREST ALONGSIDE THE ROAD

Home again about 10:30 I was able to transplant a couple Day Lilies and remove a bothersome branch from our Sunburst Locust tree.  Also did some watering before the heat finally chased me into the house.  This current heatwave is predicted to last a few more days before temps drop and return to more seasonable levels for this time of year.  Looking forward to that.

Despite this afternoon's heat Pheebs and I did take a walk back along one of the new roads figuring on crossing the little creek and coming back along one of the other new roads.  Well, it was not to be.  At the spot where Pheebs and I have been crossing lately was a great big orange machine stuck fast in the creek.  And boy oh boy was it ever stuck!!

I FIRST SAW THIS MACHINE BEING OFFLOADED FROM A FLAT BED TRUCK THIS MORNING

NEXT TIME I SAW THE MACHINE IT WAS TOTALLY STUCK IN THE CREEK

AND BOY OH BOY IS IT EVER STUCK

IMAGINE MY SURPRISE A FEW HOURS LATER WHEN I TOOK KELLY DOWN TO SHOW HER THE STUCK MACHINE.....AND IT WAS GONE

THE MACHINE WAS ALREADY PULLED OUT AND THAT'S IT IN THE BACKGROUND

WELL IT SURE DOESN'T LOOK ANY WORSE FOR WARE AFTER IT'S ORDEAL

I THINK THAT D7 BULLDOZER WAS INSTRUMENTAL IN PULLING THE ORANGE MACHINE OUT

YEP, THAT DOZER HAS A LOT OF PULLING POWER

Two cows are standing next to each other in a field. Daisy says to Dolly, "I was artificially inseminated this morning."  "I don't believe you," says Dolly. "It's true, no bull!" exclaims Daisy.
