One More Beginning
Another volatile rainstorm left .62” in the gauge this morning – currently low clouds along the foothills eclipsing the sun, temperatures near 60 degrees.
Robbin has started our first fire of the season in the woodstove, a symbolic gesture we share with reverence as our grass season is well underway, our psyches so intertwined with rain and the promise of grass that we can look forward now to branding calves and getting a jump on the work that’s always waiting. It’s been a long weekend, a long week before to make time for the weekend, and the several months of feeding to keep the cows in shape to cycle for when we put the bulls out at the end of the month. Our season has officially begun!
