The month of May goes by in a whirlwind of fun and hard work, and there is much rejoicing when the last cow calves and the last calf is branded. The nonstop chaos of calving and branding is followed by the shortest of lulls before the summer settles into its routine.

Inches of slow rain that was actually able to soak into the ground where it will do the most good.
