Rave-lita heads down the hill to a seep in the arroyo below. There’s still some snow on the north-facing slopes, but even that is going fast.

Well, it’s still dry. We got less than a tenth of an inch of rain the night before last, and the ground and roads were dry before I got out with the horses.
In good news, the dry allows me to see lots of horses. 🙂

We got some drips and dribbles of rain last night. I’m glad for that much.

We have actual, honest-to-goodness wet stuff in our weekend forecast. The percentages are pretty good … but we’ve seen our chances evaporate (!) before – most recently … pretty much all this winter.
Cross your fingers for us. We have actual, honest-to-goodness dust happening already (already!), and we need some moisture.

Comanche zeroes in on a (mild) challenger as shadows lengthen from the backside (north side) of Knife Edge.
We’re back in moderate drought, according to the U.S. Drought Monitor. At least one pond has some water now, but in mid-February, it’s not looking so wintry out there. Some parts of Colorado are tired of snow; we in Southwest Colorado are praying for a whole lot more.

Oh, the lovely

My folks were in Colorado recently for a too-short visit. Of course, we visited mustangs. Though they left horses at home in Texas with an able caretaker, really, you can never see too many horses in a lifetime, no matter where you wander. 🙂
Thank you to everyone who sent comments to our BLM folks during the scoping period for Spring Creek Basin’s HMAP revision. We sure appreciate your time and effort on behalf of keeping our mustangs, like Cassidy Rain above, healthy, free and wild!
