My sister is visiting from Texas… and we finally decided to do something FUN, instead of either cooking or cleaning or rebuilding! It was a last minute decision, but we decided to go look for treasure! We headed for a cabin and found a few… Hand hewn logs… An original bar “keeper” (as in “Katie,…

Minute Movie: “Alley Boss”
Lucas works as the Alley Boss as we load out our cattle. I like that he is quiet… I like that he does this well, at least in MY book… He’s looking guilty because sometimes he’s not allowed to do this! But if it were up to me… he’d work the sides ALL the time….

Good Plan
Goodness. I can’t even function. My sister got here last night and we stayed up til almost 2. Then I woke up at 6:30. Now it’s only 10 and I’m ready to tip over and I’m not ready to go to work in the morning either! So… I’m cheating. I can’t help it. Exhaustion is…
Labor Day… Yeah, About That…
Some of you have guessed… Some of you have remained silent even though you’ve known… Some of you have no clue as to what I’m speaking of! Here’s a bumpy clue… Well, *that’s* an easy enough clue! It’s time to confess… yes… some people around here are expecting some surprises pretty soon. No. Not me….
Shipping Day Scenery
We headed back up the mountain to ship those cows marked as “open”, or not pregnant… as well as those cows we “mouthed out”, checking for teeth loss due to old age. The ol’ girls have done us pretty good. We had to sell our last two red baldy cows because their teeth were just…
YawnYawn
Oh. Yay. Preg test day. Usually not one of my favorite days… lots of cooking and preparing and working and cleaning up. However. After returning home last night around suppertime… we found Brandon and Megan hard at work making pizzas which we soon devoured and then we collapsed into our soft recliners. After some visiting……
Believe Me
Another long day of riding… We re-rode The Partnership, searching for cattle we’d missed. We found a pair and a lone calf. We trailed them through the neighbor’s pasture and ended up in the same spot as yesterday. We actually got to eat lunch around lunchtime! That’s progress! Then it was time to gather THAT…
A Good Crew
As we headed out this morning to gather “The Partnership”, a heavy layer of clouds and cool winds greeted us. Prepared with chinks and three light layers with my re-oiled slicker on the back of my saddle… I was ready for that 40% chance of rain. Unfortunately, an hour later, the sun burned away the…
Wordless Wednesday – “Two Photos”
So sorry for yesterday’s lack of a post from ME… but I think Toria did a wonderful job of filling in after my “Gee,wouldyoudomeabigfavor?” phone call! Yesterday was a little TOO wordless… and now it’s Wordless Wednesday! To make up for it… how about TWO photos today? Cedar Sky …
Internet’s Out!
Due to technical difficulties (You have to love those when you blog on a daily basis.) Mom has no internet tonight! Alas, she will be unable to join you. Have no fear, she will return tomorrow. If not, I’ll try to pacify you with something from me. (This is Victoria by the way.) Hopefully, you’ll…
Entrepreneurial Partners
What can I do with a bucket of rocks? I can slowly… decorate my bathroom. No, I didn’t finish, but I’m pretty far along in the process! So, yesterday on my wanderings, I grabbed a few shovelfuls of teeny tiny eentsy weentsy rock. It took forever, picking them up with tweezers! Nah… I’m foolin’ ya….
