The Ranger Rogue fire burned our 400 acres in the Oklahoma panhandle and got with in 30 miles of where we live. Thankfully our cows made it through unhurt. A big thank you to all the fire fighters.

Next, the grass has begun to grow in patches in our yard, but is not yet very widespread at this time. Also we have several small flower species that have started to bloom, along with our daffodil flowers. We also have some of our hyacinth flower bulbs starting to grow in our pollinator garden that we built last year. Lastly, area wildlife have been active with multiple sightings of various bird species, multiple sightings of various flying insect species, and you can hear the frogs chirping at night along with the coyotes howling too. |

All plowed driveways and walkways on property have been getting wider and muddier this past week. Snow covered woods (north side of Thomas Hill) now show the cross-country ski trails exposed to the ground, tree stumps, and some rocks. Snowpack on deck is down to about 1", but snow piles abound from removal processes. Birds have been feeding a lot. Squirrels and chipmunks have been active. Forecast is calling for another coastal storm starting tomorrow (Sunday 2/22). |

| The rain we received recently helped tremendously. Pond level has come up some. The ground is still wet and there are water puddles. This is so helpful to us. We cannot start summer with things so dry and ponds so low. Folks that raise cattle, raise hay need the rain. Besides it being a fire danger. So much of our beautiful farm/ranch land is being bought up and turned into housing additions because of our close proximity to Dallas. Living here since 1981, I find this very sad. |

| A long, slow rain last Saturday helped out with the current dry conditions a great deal and the drought index remains unchanged from last week. But, we still have a calendar year deficit of 1.3 inches. This is our driest time of year and we have received only 51% of our average rainfall (1.34 vs. 2.61 inches). Grasses throughout the county are dry and few forbs are visible. Trees are still mostly dormant. The USGS reports the Llano River is still near record lows. The flow rate at Hwy 87 is 74 cfs vs the 53-year median of 168 cfs, the 25th percentile of 113 cfs, and the record low of 60 cfs. We continue to be under a 90-day burn ban effective 12/22/2025. |
