I arrived on the ranch, on June 4, after being away since May 9, in Jordan (to meet baby Colby) and Florida (for girls weekend). I was out on a hike the next morning with Papa. We haven't had rain on the ranch in months, but there are still plenty of things blooming and the cattle are finding enough to eat, as they are fat and happy. As stark as our desert ranch may look after spending ten days in Florida, there are still bright pops of color.
