Another day doing "Spring". A day on the ranch is often a wide array of not only activity but also emotion. Oftentimes it includes planning and adjustment. Today was no different. We had calves born and had calves die. We trimmed trees that bear witness of extreme drought and vicious storms. We are grateful for a second year of plentiful moisture that will give the grass, trees and shrubs a powerful boost. We pruned up an old elm in the yard and added a garden swing. Robin tried it out and gave her approval. Kiersten is excited since it will provide "a great place to read". What does it take to build one of these... A tree, a section of 2x8 and two old stretched and kinked lariat ropes. We drove down to Misty Meadow where our zipline is located... Water is running in Lonetree Creek... grass is greening up. Then we checked on Rendevous Spring... Talked about what fish to stock in it later this spring. Of course there was time in the tractor, in front of the computer, time on horseback and of course time just enjoying family. God is good. We are blessed... I have an idea... Why don't we count our blessings. Perhaps you would want to share some of them with us in the comments section below.
