Today remained overcast and snowy, although there was practically no more accumulation. I again remained inside, enjoying a big pot of pinto beans and cornbread… painting some light switches… and taking the time to watch Iowa’s Caitlyn Clark and her teammates unfortunately lose the National Championship to the South Carolina girls. She has been so…

Spring Storm
Rain overnight quickly kicked us up to .23” of moisture, then it switched to snow and started laying it down! This was taken midday… those are big flakes coming down! I crafted and cleaned and sat in front of the fire and watched my favorite YouTubers. Vernon kept an eye on the calving. Luckily, we…
Reminiscing XX
This story is from James Greet, written in 1991 about his life as a cowboy in the 1940’s. (continued from last week) When this task was completed, it was time to think about starting home with the saddle horses. Because I was young and single, the job naturally fell to me. It would take about…
Throwback Thursday: Lost at Love, v.2.0
This was first published April 7, 2014. Ah, for those sweet days of breeding English Shepherds… how I miss it! Well, I’m back… didn’t miss me did you? Sheila guessed it a few days ago, (good job!), I took a little trip to see if Miss Dally couldn’t hook up with a boyfriend! Little. Why…

Found Her
Victoria and crew have been here. She kept saying she needed her baby calf fix, so after lunch and a short ranch meeting, we jumped in my little truck to tour around and see what we could see. We drove up to the top of the yucca hill and thought we’d spotted a set of…
Full and Fun
Easter was a busy day… morning egg hunt at Daniel’s… with a skiff of snow helping to hide eggs… then I spent a snowy time setting up my annual scavenger hunt for three teams (Quinlan/Jaxon, Lorelei/Lacee, and Reagan)… cows were still calving, so Vernon stayed home to keep an eye on them and I jumped…
Happy Easter
I hope you had a wonderful Easter…
The Season
It’s the season… For calves and lambs and piggies and chicks… for green grass and spring storms… for new beginnings. For rebirth.
Reminiscing XIX
This story is from James Greet, written in 1991 about his life as a cowboy in the 1940’s. (continued from last week) We got to the reservoir rather early. Because the grazing that day had been very scarce, Uncle Fred had arranged to buy a load of hay to feed our beef herd and our…
Throwback Thursday: Sunday Drive
This was first published March 30, 2014. Vernon said our highway was busy this morning… everyone is getting spring fever and going for Sunday drives, I guess. Most people’s Sunday drives are leisurely, sitting in a comfortable car, with heat or air conditioning or windows down if you want to smell Spring! Maybe the radio…
