well our sunday started mid week. nightly showers , different drops for different spots.ranch 1/2 inch in places[ slight greenish hue] the farm about an inch, and sr2 +.chris and the boyz with paul and  ana took half the herd up friday. sounds like they all had fun. hopefully the rain catches up with the grass and we will be able to take the rest.paul and ana maggie and hers stopped by for dinner and wind down from their herding . marie and gary left thur for sanfrancisco [ abandoned for 2 weeks].

we got to ranch this morning.chris had started eggs .carmens crew celebrating toms bday ,came in and made egg tortilla sausage " casserole "with green chili. good stuff! zach in a hurry to catch a flight to las vegas. didn't eat  . he is weird  , but at any rate is off to celebrate his dad birthday  with family and friends. sandy lish and carmen cleaned up , the little girls did chickens.chris out to feed big animals. we lost lil ant back to tex saturday. maggies bunch went  to reserve to rodeo.

    sandy and i went to farm to put bale wagon back together. if  we ever get hay cut and baled . we might be able to get it up. beth and logan had been to a family reunion stoped at farm and fed us lunch. as fast as they came they were gone. going to have to find a crew to cut and wrap eddies beef weds .  hate to have to pay hired help. the trust funds are starting to come in . as quickly as they do we will get them out .this will take chris and marie out of a work load . and make us responsible for our selves. scary huh?
