Miserable

After the big long day, the next day, I headed to work. I only work two days a week at the library, but often it seems, I miss out on ranch work.

Megan took this one photo for me on Wednesday. Leaving the heifers behind at my place, they trailed the rest of the herd down to the home place. As you can tell, the storm moved in that day and temperatures dropped.

I spent the day worrying over my planned trip to Casper to see Mike Rowe. Victoria and I and my sister-in-law, Mary, were going to meet up and go together… followed by some time in the Big City. I had plans to be there earlier this fall which I had missed because of my idiotic jury duty that canceled my Library Association trip. I was sooooo looking forward to this trip. Watching the storm roll across the state, I knew after working half a day on Thursday, the roads would be nasty. I was right. We backed out of driving to see Mike Rowe. Thanks, Mother Nature. I drove home slowly Thursday evening.

They hadn’t had a fun time working cows that day either.

They worked all day in the freezing cold, sorting cows four ways… again with no break for lunch. Megan took these photos and a very cool slow motion video which I’ve just screen shotted for you.

As much as I hate to not be there to help, this looks just plain miserable. I was much warmer and less stressed being in the library! They had finished just before dark, good thing they didn’t take an hour for lunch. We’ve done cow work by flashlight. It’s even less fun in the dark!

Good job, team!
