Saturday Morning

Papa was up by 4 and left early Saturday morning, to go to Tom's ranch branding.  I was up by 5 and the sky was filled with clouds.  Soon the sun was peaking through and hitting various mountain tops.

Papa got home around 3:30, with his hand bandaged.  His morning at Tom's branding didn't go so well.  Papa was castrating a steer calf when it started kicking.  He cut the top of his right hand badly.  Carly took him to the emergency room for stitches.  It was a busy morning at the emergency room, as Rio, the 4 year old son of Allison and Cody, neighbor ranchers, fell off a gate at Tom's branding and broke his arm.  Saturday morning was memorable for Papa and Rio.
