More riding today… and early this morning at 48˚ with a wind blowing… that mountain was definitely feeling like fall! So when the tire on the horse trailer went flat… I just stayed inside the cab… not much for me to do but stand there and get cold! We’re getting awfully good at this… ah,…

Ding Ding
Ding ding ding ding! We have a winner! I was thinking of ol’ blue eyes (Frank Sinatra, for you young‘uns) and his classic, “The Way You Look Tonight”. Way to go, dawdawsmom! Some day, when I’m awfully low When the world is cold I will feel a glow just thinking of you And the way…
Touching My Foolish Heart
This doe and fawn antelope kept posing for me… I can’t resist a good volunteer! Even if they do wrinkle their nose at me! **** Sometimes I like unusual references for my title… anyone get this one??? How about a Q&A this month? Any questions out there or are we good??
Random Dog
Victoria and I debated on who was gonna ride, who was gonna watch her kids… and this morning at 6:20 when she woke me up…(!) I decided *she* was going to ride… and I’d corral her kids. Tonight, as my legs are still sore from yesterday, I’m very glad I didn’t spend another 8 hours…
Lost Eleven
It’s time to move the yearling heifers to the home place. We knew when we leased this gorgeous pasture, that it was going to be difficult to gather… too many trees, shrubs, springs, trails, roads… and… we were right! We started off bright and early… and had a flat tire. And we (meaning the boys),…
#TBT: Young Teamster
I just *have* to start my first Throwback Thursday with one of my favorite photos! Since I’ve declared my #TBT able to use any old photos that include me, my family, or the ranch… Here’s a very young Johnny Greet at his first job that he remembers doing on the ranch. He’s driving the stacker…

Sometimes it would be nice to run across town, load up your repaired four wheeler on your pickup and get back home a half an hour later. Convenience is a Very Nice thing… The hard part for a rancher would be finding where to stash his cattle and fields and tractors in town so that…
Salt Bonus
Ya gotta love it, when you take salt to your cows… and see elk too! Well, at least it makes my day…
First Step
Lots of things to do today… Victoria and family were here, so there was refereeing the seven grandkids, flying kites with intermittent wind and, well, seven kids under the age of four!… jumping on the old trampoline… filling sippies and cooking and reminding them of manners and… life! I did wander out to watch the…
Girls’ Day… With Boys
Antiquing with my sister again… We are in search of a big dining table for her… and ended up with a large cabinet she’ll use to sit the tv and media stuff on. And at 8’4″, just a smidge too long for her pickup bed! Neverfear, we had plenty of rope and blankets for padding……
