It has been like spring here the last few days...60 degrees by early afternoon. The birds are singing, the frogs are croaking and the bees are buzzing...not to mention the daffodils are blooming, and we are getting ready for the bull sale on Saturday. We spent the afternoon putting together these heavy weight panels for corrals for the bulls and heifers. This year is a little different as the bulls and heifers for sale will not be in mud, but on beautiful green grass. Sam was helping us out with the exact placement of the panels...Ty was off somewhere, sneaking up on a heifer or a bull. He is very good at sneaking!!
After the bull session is over, one of my favourite jobs begins...delivering bulls to different ranches around the state...usually not too far away. I have seen some beautiful ranches in very remote areas. Everything is greening up here as I imagine it is in BC...don't worry, Leah...it will even come to Newfoundland soon! I took a picture of these daffodils late one evening at the horse barn...soon there will be thousands of them all along the roads here...it is a pretty time of year.

Hi Mom, looks like agreat time on the ranch. Still waiting for you to call and say Pam has a jod for me and Candy on the ranch...haha. Love you tons-Patrick
I will miss seeing those beautiful daffodils this spring. I remember driving into the ranch last year and seeing all those daffodils along the drive. There's a little something in the mail from us too but it will probably be late. I expect you will be celebrating your birthday next week anyway. Hope the sale goes well.
