Is it Fall yet?

First day of September and it's 103* and not hardly any wind.  And its been like this for the last 4 months.  No rain.  Ziltch.  Notta.  None.  NO RAIN!  The yard's been mowed maybe 10 times all summer and you basically get a dust bath when you do mow it.  There's 2 inch cracks in the ground and its as hard as my head...and believe me, that's hard.  The creeks and ponds are goin dry and the hay meadows made about half of what they usually make.  -sigh- I'm sick of this weather!  But there is light at the end of this hot, dry tunnel; next week is supposed to be in the 80s for highs!  Thank you Jesus!
Enough with the whining, let's talk about my summer.
I've finally learned how to swim(don't laugh), learned how to drive a truck with a standard, cut my hair off/got highlights for the first time, spent 99% of my time in at the shop with dad, running tractors and air impacts and such.  That's pretty much my summer in a nutshell!  It's been too hot to fish, too hot to ride the horses, too hot to hunt hogs and too freakin hot to do ANYTHING outside unless it's early in the morning or right before dark.
But I have taken a few pictures tho and this has been one of the beset ones of the summer:

I know I've got some new pictures of the horses to post somewhere, I'm just gonna halfta find 'em!

Now hopefully Summer will decide to leave SOON and it'll cool off to where I can get outside some.  

But for now, I'm gonna sit right here under the A/C and be happy :)

I've got more to post so stay tuned!

XOXO

Last Night's Ride

Me and Dad went out right before dark last night, saddled Blake and Doc, and took off up through the Spring Trap north of the house.  I took a couple pics with my phone(since I didn't take my camera) and after playing with them a little, here's what they look like:
