I’m cold, tired, and sore… and definitely ready for bed. Big day of preg testing heifers. I’ll share the story later, but let’s catch up first with some little sweetheart.
Family Portraits
Megan, Lorelei, Quinlan, Brandon Tessia, Jaxon, Lacee, Daniel
Hard Working Girl
As I looked through photos from the other day… there was one that stood out. This one that Lorelei took. There’s Lacee, holding the heavy pipe that blocks the gate stop Brandon is holding. I asked Tess about it. She said Lacee did it for the whole time they worked. It was her job. That’s…
This
It was going to be a “Pony Day”… Four grandkids riding this smallish pasture, so to let their all the parents go along, that left me and my little bitty partner, Reagan, at home. As usual, I miss being in the middle of the action… but sharing the delight of “Patty Cake” has its own…
Born Where
Born In A Barn. My annual trip to the “local” craft/repurpose/recycle/vintage/antique market complete with live music and food and drink was today! Ninety vendors. That’s very good for Wyoming! This place has grown and grown! The best part? Is that my girls… my sister, daughter, daughters-in-law, and granddaughter all got to go together and share…
#TBT: Gotta Go, v.2.0
This was first published September 15, 2008. Sometimes, just sometimes, when Vernon says he has to run to the other place for some odd quick job, I just gotta go. I gotta stop looking out my living room window. I gotta breathe some clean air that doesn’t smell of fried potatoes and laundry soap. I…
Wordless Wednesday – “Break Time”
For the jigsaw puzzle of this photo, go here.
Short Clip
I posted a 15 second clip on Facebook about gathering the mountain pasture. I usually just do 15 seconds so I can post them on Instagram easily. But this time, I’m using Facebook so I can share with you! (See? A great reason to follow me on Instagram and Facebook… you see more of the…
Tabled
What do you think? I’m pretty happy with it, perfectly square or not. One of the reasons I built it, was to have someplace to showcase the very old wagon wheel sections that Johnny gave me out of his basement. There are two uneven sections and one spoke. They’re OLD. I took eleven different photos…
The Real Work
We vaccinate ahead of weaning to give the medicine time to kick in. Weaning is a stressful time, and we don’t want the calves getting sick… so we do our best to take care of them. That means gathering the pasture like I talked about yesterday. We then separate the cows and calves, turning the…
Mountain Work
We gathered the mountain pasture. My cows didn’t seem anxious to move. They liked their grass where they were, just fine, thank you very much. My standard operating procedure is this trail, just below the ridge, but not along the canyon bottom. However, standard didn’t apply this time as the cows were all up high….
One of Those
It’s just one of those days when my eyes are slamming shut at 8:30. I know you understand. More tomorrow.
