Water

Around here water is a treasured commodity, one which allows ranchers to do many things. The water we get comes in many forms.


Downpours as you can see here are fast and furious. This shows the water as it is coming off the corner of our house during a recent downpour. Now, these are good things since they cause running water that is filtered into the tanks to help the livestock.




We also get water in the form of hail. Hail also comes in many sizes.




As you can see in these pictures we have some very small, dime sized hail. But even our hail is sporadic and hard to forecast.






And then we get the nice steady rains that help the grass to grow and flowers to bloom. The kids get excited about it all!



Water is always welcome and vital to the way of life around here. From the morning dew to a downpour, water is on every one's minds and in many prayers around here.
