Sparky and Raven on top of old drift

Drift in Front Corral

Big Kahuna Death Throes
Compare to March 11

This morning I took a few more pictures of our snow drifts for the record. You can compare Big Kahuna in its death throes to last March 11 photos on the blog. I'm surprised how long the remnants of the drifts are lasting.

It rained last night instead of snowing. Went outside for a bit this morning before the wind came up, loved that it is getting nicer. The meadowlarks are singing. Ominous looking dark clouds are hanging around all the edges though, some settling on the hill tops. It looks like its snowing up there. The amount of moisture we get, or don't get, is always such a huge concern here. It all hinges on how much rain falls and how much the grass grows to feed the cattle. When I first came here it rained a lot and the green was something to see. Hay up to your armpits some years. I used to irrigate then, and you could get lost out there. The dogs were definitely lost.

Joe worked on his tractor today. This afternoon we got thunder and some small hail a couple of times.

Debbie called me this morning so we got to visit. Also Kevin called from The Gallup Poll asking how I rated all the different phases of my hospital stay from 1 to 5. It was a very good hospital. He was in Nebraska though, not in Idaho.

I would have been leaving on my vacation trip today. But instead Betty and Nancy will be here on the 1st so that will be a nice alternative. I'm making up a list of things we can do while they are here. Then another thing to look forward to, will be the WAA convention the next weekend in Riverton. The Wyoming Bureau of Land Management and the Wyoming Honor Farm will host a wild horse adoption the same weekend in Riverton. Maybe we can also check out the auction. I promise not to raise my hand or scratch my nose.

Just sent out an email notice for SCAG meeting on May 24th here at our house and will get some invitation cards made up to mail to everyone. We'll have some goodies and coffee and "hobnob", and get the group business taken care of. Unless it changes, I will stay president and all the other officers keep their current positions for another year. That is a lot easier than changing. I am looking forward to seeing everyone again!!
