Saturday afternoon quad ride

Yesterday afternoon Murray & I went for a quad ride to see the bison and count the calves.I spotted some lovely flowers blooming among the dry brown grass. These are actually very tiny so I had to look hard in the grass to see them.

Also found the last of the crocus that are blooming as their season is about ended.

Along the way we met up with Kevin & Angie & boys who wanted to see some bison & black calves. We took them to the top of Little Gem Hill and Jaren was duly impressed by the view!!!
Murray pointed out to Jaren how far one could see from this high spot in our ranch.

Notice how brown it is for the beginning of May. We need rain desperately. Seeding has started & the pasture grass needs to grow.

Great shots of the bison and calves. Can't believe how brown it is already - I'm sure you are praying for rain!!! Beautiful spring flowers! That side shot of Murray sure looks like his Dad!!! Those Sankey family resemblances are strong! See you guys in a few weeks!
