It’s that time of year… Snow has fallen on the mountaintops. Drifts lay across the roads. Any cattle left up high are finding their own ways down the mountain… or cowboys are bundling up and riding in the snow. Been there. Done that. Our cattle are halfway down the mountain in our Mesa pasture… but…

Hang in There
Whoops. A little late. A little tired. A little lazy. Whaaaa? You don’t have these nights? There’s lots of cool things coming up… so be patient. More Etsy. More calendar. More cows. More Mills Place. More creative… horsey style. Just hang in there with me! ******************************************************************************* October 28, 2009 Wordless Wednesday – “Lettin’ the Kids…

A Click
I hid inside today… a day of snow flurries and wind. If Daniel wasn’t here, I’m sure I would have been out in this mess! I believe I could easily be spoiled! I wasn’t just a slug though, I actually did work a tad bit on my Etsy shop. YAY! I’ve been meaning to do…
Sunset Angles
The first rain we’ve had in a Long Time started about 2 am… and the wind blew… and I laid in bed thinking I’d wake to a snowy blanket over my leaves. Nope. It was cool and damp and still windy, but no snow down here. Now on the mountaintops, yes! Rumor has it there…
It’ll Work
It’ll Work We helped our neighbors ship their old and open cows and some weaned calves today. They didn’t have too many, so it was a relaxing event for us. Although Lucas is rarely relaxed around cattle if he thinks he can help! He and I stayed out of the way for the last bit…
Life Is Good
While Daniel and T. and Matt tried for venison this morning (and were unsuccessful), Brandon, Victoria, I and seven dogs went on a weed collection walk. Brandon’s Weed class at UW requires a collection of samples. Luckily, or not, Greet Ranch has its share. Meanwhile the dogs looped and zoomed… ducked under shrubs… leapt into…
Different Background Colors
I have a full house tonight! There were eight of us for dinner… It is so nice to have my family together! The funny thing is… with all of us here… there were also seven dogs! If Johnny had brought Sam over… there would have been eight. I think each one found the same stinky…

She would like to support the Ten Sleep Library. Watercolor B was won by J. Michael Schreiner for $45. Please…

So Stoked
I have a fondness for old wood stoves. You know that. I’ve written about it before. But this story is about a “new-to-me” wood stove. This is hunting season around here and usually hunters bring us gifts. We’ve received 20# of gummy bears and Denver Bronco memorabilia and rifles and apples and cheesecheesecheese and 50#…
That Order
It musta been a Monday today. Sometimes the only way to know what day it is around here is by what you end up watching on television when you collapse into the recliner after dark. It was much easier when there was only Monday Night Football. Now with Thursday, college Saturday, and Sunday football as…
