It was a big day. While we’d planned this branding for Good Friday, a few inches of snow and cold canceled it. Today’s forecast was sketchy, with rain showers predicted but we thought we’d try to see if we could manage anyway. Vernon has been my number one helper since everything I do sends me…
Easter Gifts
Well, MJ, you guessed it. My craft from yesterday was upcycling/recycling knitting needles into bracelets for the girls… I made key chains for the boys. I liked them probably more than the kids did, but that appreciation will come with time. Someday, I hope they’ll look back on all the stuff I’ve made them and…
Guess
Well, my little cough has turned into more and my drugs haven’t done anything yet. I hoped I’d be good to go, but I’m rather miserable and I only finished half my list today. Easter may be a bit later tomorrow… I’m just hoping for a good night’s sleep! If I can sleep in… that’d…
Stay Tuned
Snow. Sun. Snow. Sun. We had to cancel our branding until, hopefully, Monday. Maybe then, the ground will be dry and the calves will be too! Stay tuned…
Throwback Thursday: R U Dun, v.2.0
This was first published April 21, 2015. More cows. More riding. More sun. More fun! (Vernon said he had to take a picture of me because my dog matches my horse perfectly! So is Panama a sable or is Eden a dun??? “Eden, are you dun?”)
Wordless Wednesday: My Favorite Place
For a jigsaw puzzle of my favorite place… well, one of them! … go HERE.
Working
The engineer came out to see our working solar system. It included pouring over plans and figures. Brandon checks the readings. The overflow from the tank is creating a pretty good stream and Indy is enjoying a cool drink. This overflow runs down the hill and runs into an old catchment pond. Now that it’s…
Sam Hill
Driving myself crazy here… I’m looking for my metal stamps in a box probably 2”x2”. It should be with my jewelry making stuff… and… it’s not. So even though I may have company that wants to sleep in my studio soon, I’ve torn it apart. I’ve looked all of the logical places. Am I losing…
Struggle
I don’t know if you remember or not, but last summer, the guys were working on a water project with a solar pump. While the basics were installed, they just couldn’t get the pump to work right. It was a struggle. But I’m thrilled to say, Brandon got it working the other day. Vernon and…
Throwback Thursday: Family Operation, v.2.0
This was first posted April 19, 2015. It’s a busy time around here… We can put cows out on our BLM allotments now, so the guys have been working on that, and finally, today, I actually got to ride along! Yesterday was a process day… and everyone was there to help. Here’s Johnny working the…
