I’m very happy so many of you enjoyed the story of Snake from yesterday. I’m also glad I wasn’t the only one who could remember the Shake ‘N’ Bake commercial from way back when where the little girl says in a cute southern accent, “and ah heoppt!” Ali and Vince, it is illegal to have…

Ice #2: The Movie
To continue our icy theme this week… Here is the video from Christmas Day… To start… the guys chop the ice out of the tank while cows wait for a drink in the background. The last half of this video is more along the lines of my “Naturewalk” ideas… I take a panoramic shot of…
Swsssswsss, Dally!

The Tea Party Snowman
I caught the guys playing on the way to their pickups. The fresh snow was WET… a springlike snow… and irresistible! All three boys started rolling a ball… and met by the tire swing. Unfortunately, the top ball was a crackhead and he was quickly dispatched. Neverfear… Daniel quickly rolled another one! Sticks were quickly…

The Best We Could
Well, I spent another day SITTING. My back is slightly better… I did sleep through the night… but I am far from healed. I have moved my computer out to the living room… setting up a table next to the recliner. It’s not the best, I still have to turn slightly to look at the…
Four Minutes of My Day
I’ve had my shower, removed some trail dust, and I’m currently sipping on some of the *finest wine*. OK. Charles Shaw. From Trader Joe’s. <It was reported that my previous link had malware attached to it. So sorry. Please don’t let it download anything! Thanks, Penny!> I can relax now… so long as Rocky quits *barking*……
Confirmation, Please
Mr. Porcupine from Carol Greet on Vimeo. I think I have it… My camera is shooting AVCHDLite and actually transferring only *half* of the recorded time… this video should have been 1:42 not 0:51. So the little devil looks like he’s scurrying around. Wrong. Porcupines don’t scurry. There’s no need to worry when you’re covered…
Piggysitting Part Poo… Uh, Two…
So I admit it… I know nothing about pigs. We were given one for an early wedding present… his name was Amos. I believe Vernon really hated hauling him to the processing plant… but I hadn’t been around him much. I patted him on the head like three times… and ate him after we got…
My Breed, Part Two
As this country was settled, dogs trotted alongside the pioneers. Dogs that could warn of strangers, herd livestock, protect children, kill varmints, hunt, and lay on your feet on those cold winter nights in your drafty old soddy. They were simple collies or shepherds… not the fancy show Rough Collies like Lassie. They weren’t English,…
Varmint Gitters
When I first investigated English Shepherds, one of the “side benefits” was the tendency of these dogs to “dispatch vermin” according to the breed standard. When you’ve had dogs give rabbits, deer, raccoons, skunks, mice, moles, and voles free rein in your yard and garden… dispatching vermin is an excellent idea! I have to say,…
Sorting Pairs
The past few days we seemed to have been sorting pairs constantly! Gathering in the badlands… we sorted. Moving them in time for branding… we sorted. Today, we dispersed the herd into four different pastures with appropriate bulls and… we sorted. It’s what we do. The other day… when I was supposed to be cooking…
