The grandchildren, Callie, Bryce and Rochelle Borror had a busy week. Walnuts were another light crop that suffered sunburn in the heat wave, and some trees fell in the wind. A lot of almond trees fell over during the wind. The almond harvest was light because of rain during the bloom and the bees couldn’t fly. When the shaker went through the orchard, the prunes had a tendency to stick to the trees instead of falling off.

The trees are full of leaves and pruning hadn’t started yet. Older trees are top heavy and fall over because of shallow roots. I have been told that if the trees are young enough you can stake them up and straighten the trees. I think we had a whirlwind on Hogsback Road when you look at the young prune orchard with trees lying eastward, and next to them are trees lying westward. Last Saturday’s 54 mile per hour gusts of wind damaged a lot of orchards. The orchardists are having a rough time too. The market is off and seems to be getting worse. 16, my 546 pound heifers sold for 70 cents. I sold some “5 way” (575 pound) heifers for 59 cents on Nov. Really glad the roads were clear and well sanded, compared with the trip going over.Īgriculture is not the place to make any money this year.

There was a couple inches of snow, but we could open the corral gates to load the six head in the trailer, along with Jim-Bob, my horse. (Usually we hear about some cows and they are long gone by the time I get there.) The 49ers won as we pulled into our drive and the cows were in the same place as two and a half hours earlier. A couple inches of hail on the road and it was really coming down. Even had blue skies until Chester and then the dark clouds cut loose. We met Woolery trucks as Dye Creek Ranch was shipping home. Dick and Chris O’Sullivan were shoveling a gate open in the snow at Morgan Springs, so they could get the horses out. Mineral was a winter wonderland with 6 to 10 inches of snow on the tree branches and the roads were plowed and clear.

Within 15 minutes we had changed into heavier clothing, caught and saddled a horse, hooked up the trailer and were on our way. I was watching the 49ers lose to Carolina when the phone rang and our Susanville neighbor said “They are back, they are by our front gate.” Winter weather is already setting in – Nov.
