We weighed our heifer calves today, and since the day was so warm, I had a helper for a few hours in the afternoon. Yeah… forget me (bad photo) but look closer! What a cutie! This is the cutest outfit to weigh calves in, I think I’ve ever seen! PLUS… He was cowboy christened today……

This Setting
Wow. I kept thinking today was Tuesday. Even after watching RFD-TV’s Rose Parade coverage… while babysitting Quinlan. (Yes, Marilyn, I saw those 100 palominos in honor of Roy Rogers… Made me tear up… I loved that guy!) Somehow, only half of the Christmas ornaments are off of the tree. My house is still a wreck…
Meanwhile….
While I was going through my traumatic evening last night… plans did continue and we did have our bonfire. Remember the Cat that came through this fall? This was a smaller pile she had left behind. It took a little doing, but they managed to set it aflame. I finally gathered myself together and went out to the…

Wool Passion
Last November… yes, LAST November… as in 2010… I started Vernon’s Christmas present, a wonderful wool saddlepad, instructions shared by my friend, Linda, up in Alberta. I worked on it. Even started A New Craft Support Group. And A New Craft Support Group Part B. Then spring came… and we remodeled and moved… and did…

Wordless Wednesday – “As the Crow Flies”

Long Shot
The guys have been going out regularly to our badlands pasture… every 5 days to open waterholes… and almost everyday to kick the cows off the fence. With the snow and lower temperatures, they yearn to drift in to the hayfields and beg for hay. It’s a big pull for them… kinda like a dog…
