Roundup Begins

Papa was up at 3:30 this morning.  He had breakfast, then went down to the corral to feed Oscar and saddle him up to meet Colter and the other cowboys by 5:30.  We had a good rain last night, so Colter led everyone through the canyons and over hilltops from his house to get to our corral, rather than drive in with trailers.  The road was too wet.  There were at least 11 cowboys and three dogs rounding up cows and calves today.  When they came back for lunch, they were telling stories about the bear Will saw in Bear Creek, losing hats in trees, and just reliving the day.  It was a good one!
