We are in Guymon, Texas this morning, home to half a million head of cattle.  When we come through here on the way home each year we are amazed at the numbers and the clouds of 'dust' that they generate.  We were surprised to see snow in Des Moines on our way out but it was dry through Kansas...and even dryer into Oklahoma yesterday.  There are a LOT of cattle on dry pastures ~ we sure hope for some moisture for them.  We did see a flock of turkeys yesterday, displaying their heart out, the fields that have winter wheat are green and the water is flowing in the rivers and streams so it seems spring can't be far off down here.  The good news however is that no little towns have gone missing from tornados and the dogs are restless but coping well with their extended confinement on the trip.
