I tend to leave my housework partially finished because I want to do more exciting things… like craft or build or go help the guys… I’ll never win awards for housekeeping and I do regret that lack of ambition… but I want to be outside and wandering out to see what Vernon is doing in…

End with Smiles
It seems hard to believe, but Lacee and Lorelei are old enough to be on a recreation district basketball team. They have both been excited, as they have watched their older brothers play and were anxious to give it a shot. So to speak. Lorelei has even been dreaming about basketball! Their first game was…
Little Bits
A very happy birthday to Tess! A big “I Miss You” to my mom… (Second from the left… wasn’t she a looker?) And a very cold morning… -32* here and Daniel had -44*… our walk in the sunshine was still only 3* by afternoon, but at least it was sunny. And I should have worn…
Helpers
Helpers… Peanut butter balls coming up… plus she helped on peppermint patties too. Quinlan was the wassail and peanut brittle guy. We didn’t get to the marshmallows…
Thank You
Thank you to all who attended. Your support was appreciated.
Birthdays
Happy early 5th birthday to little Miss Reagan. May you always be so thrilled to receive books! Another well wish for Megan, Reagan’s Birthday Buddy. It may be a day early, girls… but it doesn’t weaken the sentiment! I might as well wish my dad a Happy 93rd Heavenly Birthday today, too. It’s been 41…
Patriarch
It is with extreme sorrow that I share the passing of John Greet, December 24, 1930 – November 12, 2022. May he ride a smooth horse through green grass and find only gentle cattle (and a few wild horses to chase!) He will be profoundly missed.
#TBT: The Love of the Hunt, v.2.0
This was first published October 27, 2011. I chose this one, as Daniel has just bagged a Very Nice Mule Deer Buck… I’ve mentioned before… it’s hunting season around here. If you don’t appreciate that… perhaps you should skip this post. Catch up with me tomorrow… But I’m gonna tell a huntin’ story! I grew…
New Award
The National Weather Service finally posted the award they gave Johnny last week. Fifty five years of weather observation! This was supposed to be given to him a year and a half ago… I was bummed I couldn’t make the presentation, but we had less than 12 hours notice! oh, well… It’s an amazing honor…
Life of Reagan
We’ve all decided we want to be Reagan. While adults are setting up for preg testing the last bunch of cows, the local vet, the Good Doctor, blows up a latex glove filled with mini candy bars inside. You get to run around and play. When standing around gets tiring, your own personal camp chair…
Hard Work and Dedication
I was lucky enough to get some photo albums from a relative in order to take photos of photos… Though I tend to lean towards landscapes and working shots, the majority of the photos are of people. I liked this one, because the young men standing on the right and left are Frank and Fred…
Ranch Kid Tip of the Day
When your mom gets tired of you losing your hat when riding… she just literally braids your hat into your hair. Of course, it helps to have one of these ponytail baseball caps! Boys, however, you’re on your own!
