May Flowers

We had a good steady rain overnight with an accumulation of 3.5 - 4 inches. The ranch road held up very well. I spread four tractor bucket loads of gravel on the upper circle a few day ago and it helped a lot. The tank has filled up and we've had run off all day. It is nice and green everywhere.

Drove up to Meridian to the tax office and Highway 6 again looks fantastic. Last year it was bluebonnets, but this year it is a huge variety of wildflowers. Very beautiful. Hwy 6 between Meridian and Clifton is one of the prettiest drives in Texas especially in spring.

We do not have any big cats, it is obvious from the number of critters. We have Jack rabbitts, Cotton tails, and Squirrels everywhere. I've never seen so many. The birds are very active and I've seen a painted bunting almost every day. Add in the deer and it's like a Disney movie in the back of the house in the early mornings.
