During last week's blistering heat wave, there was another favorite spot in the house: in front of the fans. I took this photo of blind Widget in the living room, who managed to get her nose within an inch of that fan. A day or two before, Alayne had seen Widget this close in front of the same fan, but lying on her chest rather than her side — and in this position her ears were flying out and backwards with the wind tunnel effect. Before Alayne could get the camera off the desk, Widget heard her walking by and sat up. Hopefully we'll get another chance to get the flying Widge on camera.
Here's another view:

A number of people asked why we didn't have the hay wagon with us here. For one thing, it belonged to our neighbor in Montana who grew our hay. Unless you're growing a big crop of hay — and he had more than 200 acres in hay — you don't need … and can't afford to invest in … a big piece of machinery like that. Second, you drive it into a hay barn — and the trusses need to be about 18 feet high to accommodate the height of the wagon when it tips the wall of hay all the way up. Alayne and I were unloading hay into a hay loft, which is on the second floor of a shed.
