This was first posted August 18, 2009. I chose this post because we just did this… moving the cows into their new pasture. While in 2009, it had rained and rained, this year we can’t hardly beg a drop of rain. I just thought it’d be interesting for you to see how the weather can…

#TBT: New Project, v.2.0
This was first posted August 7, 2009. If someone… who knew ABSOLUTELY NOTHING about ranching… were to ask me…“What is your lifestyle like out in the middle of nowhere? Do you round-up cattle everyday like on television?” After I caught my breath from laughing and choking on my own spit, I would have to say,…
#TBT: STUPID People, v.2.0
This was first written and posted August 2, 2009. I have to say this made me laugh when I re-read it. I was very cranky! I’m not really sure if I should title this entry STUPID People, IGNORANT People, or MEANSPIRITED MISLED BLANKETY BLANK People. I always heard it was better to be ignorant…that just…

This was first posted July 16, 2009. We were in the midst of preparations for our Centennial party… lots of mowing, weed eating, picking up branches, moving things around! It’s fun to look back!

This was first posted July 10, 2009. The problem: Cows on the fence… they want to leave for the cooler mountain, but it isn’t time yet. Some dirty cows even are IN the field! Then there are the troublemakers… Lucas and Elsa have success! Lucas makes it to Bruner Draw… and goes looking for a…
#TBT: “A Find”, v.2.0
This was first posted July 9, 2009. I know someone who found something and then, wonder of wonders, returned it to the closest owner available.

#TBT: Town Yard/Ranch Yard, v.2.0
This was first posted on June 23, 2009.

#TBT: Dogs in Heaven, v.2.0
This was first posted June 18, 2009. I would never presume to understand a dog. I want to. I read books by educated people and scientists and behaviorists and I try to. The closest I’ve been is the other day… for a short period of time, at least. I watched five dogs on the mountain…
#TBT: Please Stand By…, v.2.0
This was first posted June 1, 2009. After 3 days of riding, I got the day “off”.

But ice cream counts since it is an important part…

#TBT: This Time of Year, v.2.0
This was first posted May 22, 2009. It is that time of year when everything virtually explodes and you find yourself running in circles, picking up pieces of life, mending this, moving that, cleaning here, doing that. And cooking. The last few days seem like chaos. It all began with a murderous puppy fight that…
