rain

 

Seven tenths inch in the gauge as I write this on Thursday, May 27.  The rain started in the night and is predicted to continue for the day today and into the night.  It will start those seeds lying in dry soil, soak up some of the surface dryness and help the soil into a better condition for the next hot dry wind we seem to be getting so much of this year.

The last of the spring's calves are being born, most recently in the rain this morning, so a little bedding will need to be spread for their comfort.  A little extra work, but they are hardy healthy little buggers and will be just fine.  When I checked this morning, several were playing, running full tilt from one end of the pasture to the other, tails in the air like flags.  They have very good tree protection and will be fine.  We are grateful for the rain.
