Once again I babysat, giving Victoria another chance at riding before she leaves tomorrow. Today was full of random rain showers and the cowboys did get wet. After they had returned home and gathered up children, the rain really let loose, and we’re putting the final gather on hold, as riding through slick mud and…

While the guys have been getting the heifers ready for this year’s round of AI-ing, I’ve been trying to get my garden in. I don’t get in a rush, and Memorial Day is a pretty fair marker that it is safe to garden. Except for last year… when we received our last hard frost in…
Legacy
Tent Calf is still in the special care section. His mom seems slightly less cranky, but she’s not really happy about being a mother. Maybe a few more days of attitude adjustment… I was looking through my photos, and found this one from two days ago… Indy checking out the cows. She hasn’t had that…
Action
More photos from yesterday… (I still couldn’t get them to download to my iPad, but a direct line to my desktop works, so I did manage to save these photos…) Indy and Bravo run alongside each other trying to catch up to the herd. We are all on four wheelers or side by side, the…
Sorry, Bud
The little rain, rain, snow mix of the past twelve hours did make it slick, but as the afternoon wore on, the clouds continued their journey east, and the sun reappeared with a gentle glowing light. Time for me to stop my crafting and get outside! My brainless dog, Bravo, knows quite well how to…
It’s a Start
A little bit of work with the little bitty dog… I try to get my dogs to be relaxed around cattle. It’s easy to get them hyped up usually, so calm is the first thing I work on. Let’s do that with four critters Brandon is feeding. Distance gives us less pressure, so we’re as…
Wonky
I’m almost done with my Christmas decorating… and outside, of course, I had my sidekicks’ help. All I want to know is… how can she be so cute with such a wonky ear?
Why Indy?
Alpha, Bravo, Charlie, Delta, Echo, Foxtrot, Golf, Hotel, India… Indy. Synonyms with Brave include Intrepid (name of a ship) and Dauntless (also the name of a ship) which began a convo about ship names… and Horatio Hornblower’s Indefatigable. Aka Indy. My favorite ship besides the Enterprise, would be the Endurance… Endy. Then there’s that memorable…
Indy
“We named the dog Indiana.”
Walkabout
First walkabout with puppy in tow. Sat before the gate and then, FREEDOM! Definitely a session of zoomies. Of course, getting rolled by Bravo set her back a bit, but when we got that rambunctiousness under control, it was Grand to chase him! Still, the idea of crossing that freezing creek in belly deep water…
Something to Smile About
Thank you for your outpouring of sympathy for our loss. You are very kind. While we struggle through the process, there is still a ranch to tend to, and, no surprise, cattle to move. We had already scheduled trucks to haul some calves tomorrow which meant we had to gather them today. I could post…
