It's Raining......It's Pouring!!!

Ever since we bought out ranch about five years ago, we’ve had a drought. Our place is solid woods and we’ve been working on clearing openings for years with the hope of getting nice grass pastures established. We’ve planted grass and put out fertilizer a few times. Jay has been very careful to watch the weather to wait for the perfect time to put seed and fertilizer out where it rains right after. A couple of years ago, we put seed and fertilizer out twice, and both times when it finally rained, it rained so hard that everything washed into the creek and that money we spent was lost. Last year we didn’t even attempt anything because it was such a bad drought. We’ve had to buy so much hay the last couple of years and it’s become really hard to find good quality hay for the horses and show calves, not to mention it’s very expensive. Today Jay finally got the nerve up to put the seed and fertilizer out again. Jay sent me a couple of text today all stressed out because he was worried we missed the rain again. Well……it’s raining cats and dogs now and once again all the seed and fertilizer will probably wash into the creek again!!! Still, we are thankful for the much needed rain!
