When I Can
Seems like I’ve been going and going… Well, at least driving and driving! Up to Billings Friday and back on Saturday, then a trip to Shoshoni Sunday and again today! If I can stay out of a car tomorrow I’ll be happy! Yes, for those who commented about me passing up that crewel rug… Believe…
Rescued and Reclaimed
Okay. LONNNG day yesterday, got home at midnight. No, wasn’t gonna post. Pretty good day today too, and it’s 11 pm, and I figured if I didn’t say SOMETHING, maybe some of you would start to worry! First of all, a BIG THANK YOU to Kari Lynn Dell who was my guest blogger Friday night. …

Tagging
Wonderful weather has been the norm as of late… and it makes for a great calving season. Last night, Daniel calved out the last of our heifers. Today, in one bunch, 15 calves were born! This afternoon, I rode along with Vernon as he and Brandon tagged the calves born yesterday. Tagging… not with a…
Exciting Day
Wednesday I stayed home from work and watched Quinlan and Lorelei. About 11:30, I had put Lorelei down for a nap and was playing with Quinlan when I noticed the smell of smoke. Looking up, it was a *holy-cow-there’s-smoke* moment! I just happened to glance at the heating vent under my bar and there was…
