I was scrolling through some old posts of mine… this one is from November 30, 2009! I enjoyed it, thought you might as well… The crisp morning crept slowly out of the darkness. Sparkling glitter cast by Jack Frost caught the tepid rays of the early morning sun except for the creekbottom. It would be…

#TBT: The Beginning
No surprise. Lucas. 2008.
The End of a Journey
How do you start? How do you begin to tell the story when your heart is ripped out and tears pour from your eyes? Your fingers spend as much time wiping your eyes and nose as they do typing. This is the post all dog owners know they will write at some point. The one…
#TBT: Kinda Sorta
To switch it up a bit from those classic black and whites of long ago ranching… This #tbt is actually from May 2018’s English Shepherd calendar. So current, but not… You might just recognize Miss Dally and Daniel. The photo is two years old. Hope you’re keeping everyone from having fun in heaven, Dally! You…
#TBT: Young Daddy
With the possibility of some acupuncture in Lucas’ future now that the Good Doctor’s partner is certified for it, I thought I’d revisit Lucas’ one and only session way back in 2009. The video is here if you’d like to see it. The next post caught my eye, and I just had to share a…
Fingers and Paws
I’ve talked about it more than a few times on here… I mean, I live on a ranch… we raise animals of all sorts. The guys are headed to a bull sale tomorrow, as a matter of fact. We have bulls and stud colts and roosters and the occasional tom cat. I’ve talked castration and…
Laser Thoughts
Forgot my camera. I know. I *always* have it with me… and it was only 50′ away… but Lucas and I were in the vet’s office for a laser treatment today, and I didn’t remember it until he had his little goggles on and the vet tech was giving him his treatment. There’s nothing seriously…
Cold Water
On our walk, Lucas and Eden decided the creek temperature has fallen below acceptable levels, and while a few weeks ago, they would have splashed across, in, and through… Today they paused at the edge to see if I was really going to cross the creek.
Mooving
It’s time to bring the cows down off of our mid-range Mesa Pasture before this next snowstorm hits. Yesterday they brought some from a different pasture to this one, but today we take them all the rest of the way. Along for the ride? Quinlan! Yup, he’s riding one of the little ponies. Also there……
Boooooo… Yay!
I started yesterday morning… pulled up iMovie and put together a video on the Texas Antique Fair… Yes, it was long, but I wanted to give a “real” take on the scope of the entire event. I’d let it upload… add a transition and title… by midmorning I was finished. Tried to post on vimeo…
#TBT: Sex in the Country, Revisited
So, it’s been quiet and just “different” without Dally around. As her Guard Dog position warranted, she was Number One Barker to alert me when anyone drove by… even Brandon… six times a day… Lucas and Eden are MUCH quieter without her. You think you see her… running along the fence… sneaking behind the couch…
