We went to the Nielson ranch, where
Mr. Nielson turned into Mr. Rancher Nielson.
He's really good at it.
I'm really good at watching him work, reading magazines on the front
porch swing, early morning runs around the
sprawling 9000 acres, and I am really good at
grabbing Mr. Nielson to slip away with me into
the barn to smooch for a few minutes.

The trip has been magical, especially this particular afternoon
when it rained and thundered so loud it shook the windows.
(I wish I could convey how amazing the post-rain scent is.)
