It is almost time for the first day of summer. We are finally seeing green grass and leafy trees. The winter storms have brought us abundant moisture--a welcome balm after years of drought. We have lambs and calves on the ground and are counting our blessings.
We are especially looking forward to Mid-Summer's Eve, when our youngest, Eamon, will marry his sweetheart, Megan, in Ten Sleep, Wyoming. I'm betting there will be little rest as the whole community, and many of our family and friends turn out for the festivities.

We are crazy busy trying to get all the lambs docked, the cows and calves onto the Forest, and the repairs done to winter damaged fences and ditches. Our projects were set back a day when we awoke this morning to three inches of snow!
