‘Tis the Season
I’m still adding to this… but here’s the basic shelf all gussied up for Christmas! The bottom shelf and floor will hold presents… but for now there’s toys and a Santa hat for the boys to play with! No garland. No lights. Maybe in a few more years! The next shelf holds “kid friendly” stuff…
Front Door
Remember this? This is what you used to see as you entered my house. Of course, technically it’s the BACK door, but no one in the country, except salesmen that don’t know better, ever comes to your FRONT door! We’re all tromping in mud and you-know-what on our boots, so if it’s possible, we go…
Wordless Wednesday – “Not What You Want to Be Doing at Dark”
**** Time for Questions! I’ll answer them soon!
God Bless Them Everyone
It’s time for an update… Though reports have quieted down about the Winter Storm Atlas that hit the plains in October… there’s still a few new links floating around. Here are the latest ones… Jenn Zeller, who blogs as The South Dakota Cowgirl, wrote a great article for Progressive Cattleman entitled “Recovering from a battle…
Library’s Heart
The Silent Auction was tonight and we had a good turnout. It warmed up to 18 degrees today, so everyone was loving the “heat wave” and ready to get out of the house! I *DID* finish my Father Christmas… and I turned him into a stocking. He didn’t fit the stretcher bars I had, and…
Decorating Story Time
Hey, it actually made it up to 0 today! I’m sticking pretty close to the house except for venturing out to gather eggs before they freeze… and, yes, some have frozen solid before I get there! I probably should have gone with Vernon out opening water holes for the cows just to show you that…
Whoa
Whoa. The day started at -24 and worked its way to -6 for the high. Needless to say, I planted myself in my house and stayed there. Now, I’ve just woke up from dozing off watching the National Finals Rodeo… brain foggy and barely functional! Here’s your pic of the day… taken from my window……
That’ll Work
The Silent Auction at the library is creeping up on me… Father Christmas remains unfinished… I felt the need to complete *something*… so I rummaged through my piles downstairs… and came up with this for supplies. Two hours later… a mitten decoration emerges from the mess… Huh. That’ll work! (for those of you curious to…
Chilly
We’ve shipped some high quality bred heifers to Riverton, Wyoming. These are the ones that didn’t meet our rules for being replacement heifers… but, my, there’s some nice looking heifers in the bunch! There’s also some aged cows… Consider this your notice for the sale on Friday! The day dawned crisp at 4 degrees… They…
Wordless Wednesday – “Off Switch ON”
We brag about English Shepherds having an off switch… While the cows were gathered from around my house, where was Dally? Just outside my dining room window where she could see me, but watch them work cattle. Interested, but not ON! Good girl, Dally!
Why Wouldn’t We?
Four degrees. Slight breeze handing us a wind chill of -5. Slick roads and ground blizzards. Of course, we went to town today… why wouldn’t we?
