I've been trying finish spraying weeds on these hot days. In the middle pasture, as I pulled most all of the remaining yarrow weeds, I thought I only had some weeds left to spray and that I could do that on one tank of herbicide. Wrong! The longest it ever took me to go through a tank of herbicide was 3 hours. I thought maybe it could take me almost that long to go through the middle pasture. It took me 4 hours and I only covered a third of the pasture. I kept finding miscellaneous small weeds. One here, one there. I move irrigation pipes at 8 pm. I didn't finish spraying until a little after 9 pm. As a result I didn't finish moving irrigation pipes until after dark.
So yesterday I started spraying earlier. Once again I found a number of small miscellaneous weeds. It took me 3 1/2 hours this time. Again I covered only a third of the pasture. I got the irrigation lines moved on time this time. Of course, after earlier I had noticed that this year I hadn't any sprinklers go bad, I had a sprinkler go bad. I got it changed before dark.
Today was warmer than usual. 97 for a high temperature. Since it was the last day of the month I also had some bicycle miles to ride to make my monthly goal. By afternoon it was too hot to go and spray weeds. I decided to delay spraying till tomorrow.
Last night I heard a cat fight. I couldn't find where it happened. Today Daisy has a minor limp on her front leg. Since I didn't spray weeds we spent time together this afternoon. This evening she is laying nearby instead of going outside for a little while like usual.
This evening I thought we possibly could get a rainstorm. But no, just a cloud that passed by.
