Update

After more than a year of B.S. our little minor subdivision was approved by the county. I am not too excited yet, because we still haven't bought the land. Hopefully that will be soon because that money is burning a hole in our pockets...
It seems as though spring might actually be here, but today it felt more like summer. I will not complain as long as it doesn't snow anymore. The light is staying longer each day, climbing higher in the sky until the solstice in a little over a month. I have never understood the irony of the summer sky. Even though the days last longer they seem to pass by faster and faster until it becomes winter once again. Never mind, I don't want to think about it.
Branding season is upon us here. We branded our big bunch last weekend and it was a great party. Lena even wrestled a calf, well kind of... she pretty much just held it down. Now we will continue to help the neighbors brand and be social butterflies. The best thing about branding is turning out the cows, no more feeding! Now its just a lot of fencing and harrowing hay fields.
I also came up with a new official job title for myself: Livestock Containment Specialist. Its better than "Fencer".
Fishing season is also here and things are gonna get busy fast. I start guiding a little next week. Hello summer, goodbye spare time. I am excited to get back on the water. It has been too long.
Lena and I are planning on selling our bridal palace and moving out to the bunk house at the Neal ranch. We want to save some money and pay down some of our debt before we build a house. All in all it is gonna be a busy summer.
