Brief But Enjoyable
Christmas Parade was tonight… We arrived just in time to grab a quick bite to eat… sit in our car with the seat warmers on to chow down… then watch the small parade. We then drove up the hill to again enjoy the seat warmers while waiting for the fireworks. It makes much more sense…
Five Down
Five down. Three to go. Lorelei just needs the leather poppers and the links to connect onto a bit and her reins will be finished. I’ve already started Lacee’s set. Then comes Mathew and Reagan. Maybe I’ll be done by spring! (plus I get bonus points because Tess got some too…)

Do Ranchers Still Exist? Video
I tried some predictive text… do ranchers… ???? I was surprised to see “still exist” as one of the answers. Yes, Virginia, ranchers still exist. This video covers October 17 through November 1, 2021.
Soft Winter Day
Finally. Snow. Cold. It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas! It currently is 1˚. Vernon and I have a bet how cold it will get on this clear night… I think I’ve probably already lost! With no cloud cover to hold the heat in, it is going to be crisp in the morning. I…
