Today, Ev and I took a break from the cows. They are now in a field that should keep them happy for the next couple days, which means we have time to focus on the much needed maintenance projects throughout the ranch.
We spent the morning repairing holes in old barbed wire fence, taking down and replacing an old gate, and removing old fence posts. After a couple hours in the hot California sun, we took a break for lunch, eating under a couple of willows. It was a very nice - taking refuge in the shade of the trees, cooling off, and eating some lunch.
The afternoon was spent taking down an old corral, which means knocking off the boards, pulling out the posts, and cleaning up the wood that can't be used any more. It was enjoyable and mindless. Just smashing a hammer into boards to shake them loss from their nails is therapeutic, I think.
It's another hot day in San Juan and tomorrow looks like it might be hotter.
