There’s been a great deal of this going on… I finally made it out there… not horseback, mind you, but I was there. I haven’t missed too many of these days in my 44 years here…

This was first posted June 22, 2015. In amongst all the other things that have been going on, Brandon found a couple of bulls that had… ummm… to say it delicately… They had broken their “equipment”. One may heal if he leaves the girls alone, so he is in a corral. The other one? Nah. …

Heroes of the Hay
While I’ve been safely ensconced in my house, well, for the most part… or somewhere else, the guys have cut, raked, baled, and stacked all the pollen loaded hay surrounding my house!

Wordless Wednesday: Tiny Home
A house wren has built her tiny home outside my bedroom window. Enjoy this jigsaw puzzle HERE.
Notion
Don’t ask me what I’m going to do with it. A pin? A necklace? A sun catcher in my window? I don’t have the foggiest notion…
Replenished
Vernon is fixing fence on the mountain, and I have the very, very easy job of dropping him off at one point, and driving around to pick him up at another. With rainstorms coming weekly, the country remains brilliant green with water running down cow paths. The buffalo wallows are full, then slowly empty, only…
