We had a temperature break here in Texas so Twiggy and Lucy took advantage of it.
“Hey, Lucy, check out the temperature.
“I can’t see the thermometer from here.”
Pretty funny. We don’t have a thermometer. The air feels cool.”
“Yeah, the low 90s is like an arctic blast. Why are you running?”
“The puma has decided to take a run at the big slow water buffalo.”
“Yeah, well, this buffalo has a few surprises for the dull-witted puma and outflanks it.”
“You can run, but you can’t hide.”
“The buffalo looks back and plans the next move.”
“The buffalo comes up short and faces the puma.”
“The puma gets ready to pounce.”
“The buffalo makes a preemptive strike.
“Which the puma ducks.”
The puma goes on the offensive and is ready to take the buffalo down.”
“But, the wiley buffalo has a few more tricks.”
“The puma has the buffalo cornered. Time to finish the fight.”
“Yeah, bring it on, puma. You’ll find out how much a hoof can hurt.”
“Where you going, Lucy? We didn’t finish the battle.”
“I’ll let you win this one, Potato. I need a drink.”

These two can do this for hours with the proper breaks (Lucy does get tired. She is 12 year old) Trevor wants his life on his terms.

I saw where you’d gotten a brief respite — woo hoo! It’s been pretty miserable here, too — not so much from heat as from humidity. And the crops only add to that. We woke up to a dense fog this morning and are hoping for a cold front later in the week. I can see how happy the girls are with this weather change, even if it’s only a short one!
