Blessed Rain



Ten days ago this spot was nearly all brown. Amazing the way the range can spring to life. For a few days we don’t need to worry about range fires or blowing dust.

Was in fog most of the day. I was getting paid but this owner wasn’t.

Saw several pronghorn and feral horses getting their bellies full of new green foliage. Even a few bison at the Monkey Ranch on Nebraska 71.  Good day, if  you had to work.

Always there seems to be a spoiler. Getting to work involved doging a driver with her head down and looking to her right. Wish I could have sent her this link.


YMMV


Did notice the price of diesel in Wyoming has jumped 38 cents a gallon in ten days. Gas, about eight cents.

Yes, the rain has been quite pleasant the last couple of days.

And I'm stunned at how fast the trees are filling out. After 35 years in Kommiefornia I'd completely forgotten what Spring is like.

Four seasons.

Yep, green down here too! And gas is up, summer is coming and so gas prices are 'up' for the summer travel season... Supply and demand rules all!

Surprised to see diesel take such a jump. Wonder if the Iran situation is having an influence? We now ship a lot of low sulfur diesel to Europe.
