I had to work four days at the library this week, so I’m behind on photos of the ranch activities. As I drove up and installed my Jeep in the garage, I noticed Vernon at work in the shop. After shuffling the dogs around, Indy being in heat, I wandered over to see what Vernon…

#TBT: Always Exciting, v.2.0
This was first posted August 25, 2012. So the excitement of the day? Daniel came running over from the shed, looking for me and my dogs… a black bear was coming down the highway and crossed the cattle guard on the road into my house! I was working on my studio but came out to…

Lucky Me
Happy anniversary to us! Forty two years… 🥰
Baby
I spent time cleaning and refilling my hot tub. No surprise, not far off lay my English Shepherds, also known as English Shadows. Laying in the grass, keeping a close watch on me, is their job. Indy was multitasking. That’s my new kitten that I’ve had for a month or so. She’s Booger’s granddaughter… out…

Last Day of Freedom
School starts tomorrow and I’m back to the library from 8-5 twice a week. We took the kids to the creek to enjoy the last day of summer break. While we weren’t working… the guys were. Vernon crosses the creek with the tractor and baler while Brandon soon follows in a different tractor to haul…
Back To It
Back to it. The hay has been cut and left to dry. At some point, we will come along and rake it. Raking serves two purposes. 1. To flip the hay over, putting the dry side down, and giving the wet side a chance to dry. 2. To put two windrows together, to save the…
