Difficult
Chinook blew in today and is melting the snow like mad. It’s not all gone by any means, and the ice that’s left behind? Well, it makes it difficult to walk on those newly minted hooves…
#TBT: Question and Answer March 2012 VLOG (Pt. 1), v.2.0

Mission Accomplished
A brilliant morning… With my standard Tuesday sidekick along, we helped moved the cows to a new field. With Vernon in the lead with their hay, Daniel and Brandon on four wheelers, Reagan and I in the side by side, and five dogs… they didn’t have a chance! Double click on the photo to see…

So Many Ways
I tend to leave my housework partially finished because I want to do more exciting things… like craft or build or go help the guys… I’ll never win awards for housekeeping and I do regret that lack of ambition… but I want to be outside and wandering out to see what Vernon is doing in…
