A Hot Day, Roping Practice in the Shade

It was a blistering ninety-eight degrees outside today and the forecast calls for our part of Oregon to hit the century mark or better the next two days. On hot days like this, we hurry to get the horses rotated out to pasture, knock off all the chores and essential watering, and settle in for some serious roping practice in the shade
.
More than anyone I know, Lorenzo is masterful with a rope. He credits his Zen-like skills to the multitude of chickens, turkeys, and other stock he roped as a youth. Thankfully, Lorenzo is a darn good teacher, too -- something Lorenzo's son, Eric, and I both appreciate!
